Güpotim - thermally conductive fillers Electrically insulating, low soda (Na₂O < 0.1%)

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.

The leading brand of environment-friendly, waterborne acrylic emulsion technology solutions for adhesives, PSA, architectural binders, thickeners, fabric color deepeners, etc.

SYNPRINT is based on our proprietary self-crosslinking technology. This technology combines two different crosslinking mechanisms on the same polymer backbone, substantially increasing the chemical resistance, water resistance and adhesion to multiple substrates. This technology was designed for the self- crosslinking mechanism to fully cure at room temperature while maintaining long-term shelf stability.

Often, fillers have to meet very special requirements. In such cases not only good dispersion characteristics are of importance, but also mechanical and dynamic properties of the final products. Improved electrical insulation resistance, better aging and fluid resistance in many materials and improved anticorrosion properties have a crucial role to play in many areas. At Hoffmann Mineral, we developed Aktisil to meet such customer requirements. This special filler is made by treating the surface of Neuburg Siliceous Earth with chemical agents, mostly silanes. The reaction by-products (e.g. alcohol) formed during the manufacture of the different products of Aktisil are largely removed right away during the process. The coupling reaction fixes the silane to the surface of the filler. Any undesirable side-effects that can occur during mixing by direct addition of the silane are virtually eliminated. So the customer can choose from a complete product range of many different types of Aktisil. This is the result of many years of in-house experience and of close cooperation with customers. Know-how for users’ benefit.

Basonat® polyisocyanates are crosslinkers for two-component Polyurethane coatings for the automotive and industrial coatings industry. Basonat® harderners have an influence on the curing time of the systems.

Smooth heat transfer is possible by evenly filling the gap between the heating element and the heat sink such as a heat sink or housing with a sircon.

UV AlIStar S is for absorbing and non-absorbing printing substrates in sheetfed

We deal with Tackifiers based on Rosin, Rosin Derivatives and Petroleum Resins.

"UltraTape critical environment labels are specifically designed for use in Semiconductor, Data Storage, Biotechnology, and Pharmaceutical cleanrooms. UltraTape label products are manufactured from 100% synthetic facestocks, liners, and cores - avoiding particulate contamination issues that arise from coated paper products."

DEHESIVE® products are tailored to applications and have a successful track record of over 30 years of use around the world as silicone release coatings for paper and film. DEHESIVE® silicones set standards in versatility, processability and economy. Thanks to their chemical structure, the organosilicon compounds found in DEHESIVE® silicones have excellent release properties towards sticky substances. Silicone-coated release liners not only adhere to labels to prevent contamination and damage during handling, they can also be peeled off smoothly without loss of adhesive strength. The unique market portfolio is the ideal choice wherever release papers are produced. The advanced technology is ideal for modern applications in the labeling, adhesive tape and food industries.

UV FoilStar LM is Migration and odor optimized

Tamanol is an environmentally friendly water-based (solvent-free) emulsion tackifier. It is the industry's first environmentally friendly water-based (solvent-free) emulsion tackifier that can be used as an additive in an adhesive to increase its adhesion. This can be used with olefin polymers that inherently have poor adhesive properties to make them stickier. It is used for various types of polymers, such as acrylic, EVA, chloroprene and rubber-based polymers.
