Our range of MICRONOX® pigments is a wide and complete solution for the needs of our customers, offering high-quality micronized inorganic pigments.

ETONIS® is WACKER’s brand for polymer-based concrete admixtures. Targeted for the concrete industry which values effectiveness and sustainability, ETONIS® yields a technology advance by combining outstanding durability and excellent adhesion properties.

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.

MicroDyne™ can be made from tire rubber material, natural rubber, nitrile rubber, butyl rubber or EPDM rubber.

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.

The VINNEVA® brand comprises a range of polymer-based dispersions for the modification of bitumen emulsions. The dispersions are usually post-added to the bitumen emulsions.

Pangel range bring to the market a complete tool-box of special clay based additives for paints and coatings, fertilizers and in a variety of different bitumen and asphalt based systems. Pangel products are highly pseudoplastic additives based in different silicate minerals for both water and solvent based systems.

Styrene-butadiene block copolymers are polymerized in solution and present different structures, linear, radial and multiarm. They are free flowing materials that show different viscosities to adapt their properties to the multiple applications where they can be used in. Lower linear molecular weight grades offer very good flowability, are appreciated for their transparency and easy processability. Radial grades show higher melt strength, and offer higher mechanical properties with a high modification performance. Multiarm grades show a combination of low viscosity with temperature resistance. This performance make them suitable for a wide range of applications such as technical compounding, adhesives and sealants, bitumen modification for road pavements and waterproofing membranes. They are also used in shoe sole applications and polymer modification. They comply with different food contact applications. Typical physical aspects can go from fluffy crumbs to powder versions.

Evonik's SIPERNAT® precipitated silicas are well-known and used as an anti-caking agent, carrier, stabilizer, defoamer, rheology controller, microplastic replacement, and numerous others. The SIPERNAT® product range provides a specialized product solution for many challenges. Through advanced product technology, custom application development and best-in-class handling expertise, Evonik's technical team supports customers in finding the right solution to step up the performance.
