Brands in Architectural Coatings

LAVIOSA VISCOGEL ™ are rheological additives which in solvent-based paints provide anti-settling and anti-staining properties guaranteeing a homogeneous distribution of the pigments, a remarkable qualitative stability during the storage and application phase. The use is simple and does not require heating or special equipment.

Under the brand family GENIOSIL®, WACKER offers organofunctional silanes and innovative silane modified polymers for bonding and sealing. Their most outstanding property is the fact that they combine environmental advantages with performance benefits.

CLiQFLOW is an rheological additives for non-aqueous systems.

DOMALKYD are solventborne alkyd resins, water-reducible alkyds and alkyd dispersions.

IMSIL® microcrystalline silica fillers are produced from an inert, naturally occurring alpha quartz with a unique grape-like morphology. Finer micronized grades are useful in formulating higher gloss paints and systems requiring controlled particle top size such as Industrial OEM topcoat coats and non-conductive inks. Intermediate size grades offer ideal and uniform gloss control for topcoats, coil coats and increased inter-coat adhesion between primers and topcoats. Coarser grades offer high solids loading with low viscosity,  texture, anti-skid  and abrasion resistance in industrial floor coatings and exterior deck coatings.

Lupasol® performance polymers are water soluble polymers. They are either homopolymers or copolymers of various polymers. Depending on their structure such polymers are anionic, nonionic, or cationic charged. They act mainly as additional additive due to their key performance. Lupasol® paper chemicals are components for the production of microcapsules which, in combination with other chemicals, give a highly efficient reactive system to produce carbonless copy papers.

Silicon occurs abundantly in nature in the form of oxide (Silica – SiO2) and forms the main constituent of earth. It is very hard and abrasive in nature

Aspanger ASPOLIT is a special 3-component filler consisting of the multifunctional industrial minerals muscovite, quartz and chlorit. Special wet and dry processes employing the most modern production and quality control technologies.

VersaFlex VF 30 is a low viscosity, high solids epoxy developed as a penetrating concrete primer for polyurea applications. VF 30 penetrates and strengthens the surface of the concrete, reduces pin-hole formations and provides a chemically reactive surface to accept VersaFlex polyurea systems. Adhesion is increased with the use of VF 30 by up to three times that of unprimed concrete.

Crystal Clear is a clear, acrylic coating, available in many formulations to achieve a variety of “wet looks” and sheens. All formulas will highlight and darken the natural appearance of the stones or masonry surface.

ECONYL® colorants are highly concentrated binder and solvent free ready to use water based pigment dispersions. The high tinting strength, VOC and APEO free colorants are recommended for in-plant tinting of various water and solvent based systems. Maximum stability and dispersability is guaranteed due to a patented wetting and dispersing agent platform.

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.

MicroWhite products are pigmented polymers for adding colored effects to paints and coatings.
