The VINNAPAS® eco product line stands for polymer dispersions, dispersible polymer powders and solid resins derived from renewable raw materials via the biomass balance approach. VINNAPAS® eco grades are chemically identical to the corresponding basic VINNAPAS® products. VINNAPAS® eco dispersions, dispersible polymer powders and solid resins are manufactured using the biomass balance approach. This means that fossil raw materials are entirely replaced in the supply chain by renewable raw materials that are certified as sustainable. WACKER uses bio-based acetic acid that is a byproduct of the wood-processing industry and is certified as sustainable by PEFC® (Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification). The bio-based acetic acid is introduced at the beginning of the production cycle. The biomass balance approach mathematically determines the percentage of dispersions, dispersible polymer powders and solid resins made from renewable (non-fossil) raw materials. VINNAPAS® eco grades are certified to the REDcert2 standard and audited by TÜV NORD, an independent German technical inspectorate.

PHENODUR® phenolic resins mainly find use in industrial and packaging coatings, in combination with other types of resins, such as epoxies, acrylics and polyesters. PHENODUR®specially formulated solvent-based and waterborne resins are designed for use in coatings applied to the interior of metal food containers, and include phenolic resin systems that can be used to make Bisphenol A- and BADGE-free interior can coatings.

SPUR+* Prepolymers - Formulators for the construction, automotive, and other industries face the sizeable challenge of creating durable sealants and adhesives and an excellent building block technology to consider for use in such products are Momentive s SPUR prepolymers. This family of silane terminated polyurethanes is appealing because of the combination of a silane curing mechanism with a polyurethane backbone. The properties derived from these SPUR prepolymers give formulators broad latitude to assemble products to meet the varied and specific performance needs of the end user.

Evonik is the inventor of AEROSIL® fumed silica, which is a synthetic fumed silica that is produced by flame hydrolysis. For over 70 years AEROSIL® has proven to enhance performance in many markets and applications. Today Evonik's AEROSIL® portfolio covers a broad range of surface areas, as well as very different surface chemistries. Also, AEROSIL® does not get tired in finding new markets, applications and effects. AEROSIL® is invented to improve.

VINNAPAS® is WACKER’s brand name for a versatile range of polymer-based dispersions, powders and resins that are used to improve the properties and performance of products in a wide range of industries. The portfolio has been continuously improved and optimized since the 1950s. Thus, VINNAPAS® products set the standard and are leading in many applications.
