Brands

SILFAR® is the name of WACKER’s range of silicone-based products specifically intended for the pharmaceutical and food industries, as well as for use in fermentation and other biotech processes. SILFAR® products feature outstanding chemical resistance. They are not resorbed in the digestive tract, and are therefore not metabolized. They are colorless and odorless.

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.

HDK® Pyrogenic silica is a mature product that WACKER has produced for over 50 years and is used by customers worldwide with great success. Thanks to our integrated production system with statistical process control and highly efficient reactor dynamics, we produce pyrogenic silica of exceptionally purity. With HDK® you get not only great product performance, but also tailored customer service.

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.

WACKER’s PRIMIS® brand covers specialty high-value dispersions based on high-performance acrylate copolymers, as well as a range of high-value additives. PRIMIS® enables customers to develop products with unique properties that are otherwise difficult to achieve.

SILFOAM® is WACKER’s innovative brand for smart foam control products. It covers silicone-based integrated system solutions for regulatingfoam-intensive applications, and thereby optimizing processes and end products. SILFOAM® foam-control systems are the result of a continuous process of applied R&D. SILFOAM® is carefully tested for its compatibility and effectiveness in the customer's formulations, thereby avoiding overfoaming in advance.

WACKER markets vinyl chloride co- and terpolymers in the form of dispersions and solid resins under the VINNOL® trade name.

LIOSIL® is powerful, innovative and trailblazing. WACKER is bundling its Protect & Care, Surface Care and Tissue products under the brand name LIOSIL®. Applications for these products pose an extraordinarily wide range of challenges for everyday home care and cleaning.

PULPSIL® products are silicone-based defoamers. PULPSIL® provides pulp and paper manufacturers with efficient pulp defoamers for optimizing their various process steps and product quality. PULPSIL® silicones not only control foam but also speed up dewatering and improve pulp washing. PULPSIL®silicones can thereby form part of a more profitable and environmentally friendly pulp manufacture – they increase production capacities, reduce water and energy consumption, reduce the amount of bleaching chemicals and improve pulp quality.

NEXIVA® brand comprises spray-dried polymeric binders for use as binders in architectural coatings as well as paints, adhesives, nonwovens, carpet, sealant and paper applications. The technology is suitable for manufacturing interior wall paints in either liquid or powder form. These dispersible polymer powders allow the formulation of paints without the addition of biocides and offer key advantages when it comes to storing and transporting paints.
