Saving Fossil Resources with
VINNAPAS^® eco

How can WACKER’s VINNAPAS^® eco line help our customers reduce their carbon footprint? The secret lies in the mass balance approach: watch our video to find out more about this approach and its benefits for our customers and the environment.

A Molecule Makes History

Inventions in chemistry are rarely based on a raw material alone. They usually require a mixture of chance, curiosity, persistence and boldness. Vinyl acetate is a perfect example of this. 100 years ago, it was initially admired as a “test-tube curiosity.” Today, VAM is an important building block for success for WACKER and numerous industries that use vinyl acetate copolymers and terpolymers.

Excellence Made in Burghausen

What makes for really good building materials? Excellent raw materials, of course. But, above all, a great deal of expertise and experience. WACKER has a home for all these: its technical competence center for construction polymers in Burghausen. Here, we have been working to find the best formulation for each individual customer since 1957.
