BUILDING THE FUTURE

Ever since man crept out of the caves and started to construct buildings he has been using mortar in some shape or form. The first break through came in the 20th century with the use of liquid bonding agents and the second more than 50 years ago with the development by WACKER of dry polymer binders – the dispersible powders. VINNAPAS® polymer powders were pioneer products in the area of drymix mortar technology.

VINNAPAS® revolutionized the world of

construction by introducing products

that had previously been unthinkable,

products with high mechanical strength

and excellent adhesive power.

VINNAPAS® polymer powders and

dispersions are found in five major fields

of application: tile adhesives and self-

leveling compounds, exterior insulation

and finish systems (EIFS), finish coat and

water proofing membranes such as

sealing slurries.

As well as having superior intrinsic

properties, VINNAPAS® polymer powders

and dispersions are so designed to

be formulated in highly sophisticated

construction products.

Further challenges are also on the

horizon: environmental compatibility,

healthy living, living closer together and

aesthetics – these are all aspects of

construction that we continue to work

on ensuring that we maintain our usual

high standards.

For ease of use, this brochure has been

divided into two sections. In the first

section you will find all you need to know

about VINNAPAS® polymer powders, and

in the second everything about

VINNAPAS® dispersions.

THE ADDITION OF TECHNOLOGY

VINNAPAS® polymer powders and dispersions enhance building materials with properties that include:

Excellent adhesion to a wide range of

substrates.

Flexibility – The long-term durability and

functionality of many systems depend on

their flexibility (or deformability). For floors

and walls laid with tiles, the mortar needs

to be sufficiently flexible to absorb the

stresses and loads occurring between

the tiles and substrate. And in exterior

insulation and finish systems, polymer

modification allows adhesives to

accommodate any movement between

insulation board and the substrate that

may occur with time.

High abrasion resistance ensures a

long life and good looking surfaces.

Improved workability allows for ease of

application even under a wide range of

climatic conditions e.g. longer open time.

The addition of VINNAPAS® polymer

powders increases your efficiency by

delivering you:

– Long-lasting products

– Longer Service Life

– Fast-drying mortars

– Thin-bed mortars

7

Picking the right product VINNAPAS® binders offer the broadest

product portfolio in the market for formu-

lating high-quality building materials with

precisely defined technical properties.

They permit the formulation of even dry,

ready-to-use or admix systems.

All products help to optimize adhesion

and flexibility, the individual product

classes offer additional properties,

such as neutral effect on rheology,

hydrophobicity, thixotropy, improved

leveling, and a superplasticizing effect.

GLOBAL NETWORKMEANS GLOBAL RESPONSIBILITY

OUR MISSION

WACKER is a globally active company

that manufactures and sells chemical

products, and engages in intensive sci-

entific research. We are fully committed

to sustainable development, a principle

that is an integral part of our business

thinking and practices. We structure our

activities according to 8 Eco-Modules,

which cover subjects from manufacturing

efficiency to toxicity, which we will use as

indicators to create less of an overall

environmental footprint.

And when it comes to environmental

protection we believe prevention is

always better than cure which is why at

WACKER we focus more on prevention

than remedial measures. This process

begins as early as product development

and plant planning stages. It also means

that in accordance with the Responsible

Care® initiative, measures often go

beyond what is legally required. We’re

continually working on reducing energy

consumption and conserving resources

and keeping the public informed via our

annual community meetings at our

Nünchritz site and the Burghausen site’s

yearly environmental reports.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

When we develop new products or

optimize existing products we are always

thinking about their environmental impact

now and in the future. Green building

is a topic that is on everyone’s lips

and we are constantly working on more

sustainable products. For example

VINNAPAS® 828 ND – a well established

dispersion has been further developed

as it is now produced without the

addition of APEO, plasticizers and

solvents which helps our customers

to develop environmentally friendly

products.

And our commitment doesn't just

stop with our products – we recently

developed a PE bag for our polymer

powders that contains 40% less PE.

SMALLER FOOTPRINT

Many of our products help to reduce the

carbon footprint along the life cycle of

construction products. By suppling

VINNAPAS® polymer powders for exterior

insulation and finish systems (EIFS)

we help lower end-user heating costs,

while cutting greenhouse-gas emissions.

EIFS can reduce heating energy costs by

60% and cut the energy lost by

air-conditioners by as much as 72%.

We managed to reduce the specific

energy consumption in Burghausen by

~40% in the past 10 years and we will

continue to pursue a target of increasing

energy efficiency by 5% in all our facto-

ries worldwide.

THE POWER OF POWDER

Speed and reliability are important factors when architects and build-ing contractors are choosing building materials. A product should also be easy to use – facilitating the work at the job site.

When WACKER invented the polymer

binder in the form of a powder in 1957,

it became possible for the first time

to use a one-pack cement system. A

dry mortar is modified with VINNAPAS®

dispersible polymer powder in the

factory, and only needs to be mixed with

water on site. The result is a high-quality

polymer-modified cement mortar with

clearly defined properties.

Factory-premixed mortars can be

produced with the correct proportions of

cement, fillers, additives and VINNAPAS®

dispersible polymer powders. This elimi-

nates serious construction-site mixing

errors.

VINNAPAS® dispersible polymer

powders ensure good adhesion,

even to smooth, non-porous surfaces.

Dry-mix mortars modified with

VINNAPAS® polymer powders have

various advantages:

– Easy to transport and store

– The packaging is easy to dispose of

– Not at risk from bacterial growth

– Easy to use at the construction site

– Only water needs to be added

Tiles come in lots of different shapes and sizes. They can be heavy or light, porous or non- porous. VINNAPAS® polymer powders will ensure tiles adhere to differing substrates in a wide range of conditions.

Regardless of the type of tile being

used, the weakest point is the bond

between the tile and the substrate.

It’s never been easier to fix large heavy

tiles thanks to the excellent non-slump

properties of thixotropic VINNAPAS® T

dispersible polymer powders. Our tile

adhesives also act as a flexible buffer

between tile and substrate compensating

for thermal expansion and preventing

cracking as a result of stress between the

substrate and the tile. VINNAPAS® Plus

polymer powders are often used with

porcelain tiles and on substrates that are

subject to a certain degree of shrinkage

and deformation movement. VINNAPAS®

Plus polymer powders are so designed

that if you have a special problem with

tiles we are more than likely to have a

special solution for you.

EXTERIOR INSULATION AND FINISH SYSTEMS – CONSERVING YOUR ENERGY

The finite energy resources of the world are slowly running out. And as the search for renewable sources continues, the cost of energy continues to rise. One of the most efficient ways to save energy in buildings is by thermal insulation. The better the insulation the lower the running costs

For insulation systems to function

properly they have to bond well to the

substrate. Adhesive mortar modified

with VINNAPAS® polymer powders has

three functions within this sandwich.

First, it creates a stable bond between

The durability of the entire system

depends heavily on the degree to which

it is saturated with moisture. In order for

water.

This property can easily be conferred

with the addition of VINNAPAS® H

STUCCO/PLASTERS – A GREAT FINISH STARTS HERE

As the exterior finish or skin of a building, exterior plasters perform two different functions. They have to look good and at the same time they must protect the substrate against weathering and moisture without seal-ing it - in effect allowing it to breath.

VINNAPAS® polymer powders are only

added to plasters in small amounts

but perform important functions. They

improve adhesion, enabling attachment

to smooth or non-absorbent substrates.

They allow plasters to be applied in very

thin and more economical layers.

Exterior plasters need to have good adhesion to the substrate while remaining flexible so as to prevent cracking. They have to have good water repellent properties and at the same time good drying characteristics.

DISPERSIONS – LIQUID ENGINEERING

Reliability and durability are importantfactors when architects and buildingcontractors are choosing buildingmaterials. VINNAPAS® dispersions are used in various high-performance construction materials.

They confer excellent adhesion,

cohesion, flexibility, hydrophobicity,

rheology and long-term stability.

You’ll find them in all sorts of primers,

exterior insulation and finish systems and

synthetic resin bound plasters and

renders, as well as mortar and concrete

admixtures in e.g. repair mortars and

water proofing membranes.

On the opposite page you can see the different areas in which our dispersions are used and on whichpage you can find the relevant information.

NEW PRODUCT CLASSES

VINNAPAS® products are consistently being updated and we’re regularly introducing new dispersions to the market. To ensure that you don’t get confused and can easily find the right dispersion for your needs, we’ve divided VINNAPAS® dispersions into Standard and Plus categories, where each product is named according to its specific characteristics.

The new naming system for our dispersions reflects product proper-ties and is highly analogous to the nomenclature of dispersion powders.

In future, the product name will consist of:

VINNAPAS® + 3 characters representing

chemical properties (polymer composi-

tion/flexibility) + 1 letter for the product

class + the letter “D” for dispersion.

Please refer to page 53 for details.

It is important to note that the oldnaming system will remain in place until September 1st 2011.

COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY WITH OPTIMUM COMPOSITION

The new composite dispersions from

VINNAPAS® very cleverly combine

inorganic and organic components to

produce a product which allows colors to

remain bright and not fade on building

facades, thereby reducing the total

number of facade renovation cycles.

The core of the dispersions is made up

of inorganic silica particles (the basis of

quartz and glass) only a few nanometers

in size that are surrounded by organic

polymer particles.

Normally, if mineral particles are simply

mixed into an organic dispersion, the

particles can agglomerate during filming

and subsequently develop an uneven,

heterogeneous film. The organic shell

of the new composite dispersion now

prevents inorganic-particle agglomeration

during the film-forming process. Thus,

a homogeneous and stable film forms.

The special organic/inorganic combi-

nation also lends specific benefits

to the dispersion. The elastic, organic

components have conventional binder

properties – strong adhesion and

cohesion, good mechanical properties

and improved processability. The solid

mineral components, for their part,

have outstanding barrier properties,

reducing dirt pick-up, ensuring

long-lasting color shades and lowering

the risk of algae or mold formation.

Composite dispersions also feature

improved scratch and abrasion resis-

tance, high thermal stability, and optimal

thermal conductivity and water-vapor

permeability. Of particular note is their

improved flame-retardancy due to the

high non-flammable inorganic content.

EXTERIOR INSULATION AND FINISH SYSTEMS – CONTROLLING YOUR TEMPERATURE

Regardless of whether the building is being heated or cooled, thermal insu-lation offers the greatest potential for saving energy. External insulation and finish systems are among the most efficient ways to reduce a building's energy consumption. VINNAPAS® dispersions are polymer binders that enhance the adhesive and reinforcing mortars and compounds in exterior insulation and finish systems.

They are designed to selectively modify the properties of adhesive and embedding mortar and compound. For adhesive mortars and compounds, 2-components systems are usual, while in embedding mortars and compounds the dispersions can be used in ready-to-use as well as in 2-component systems. Our dispersions are versatile due to excellent compatibility with cement. VINNAPAS® dispersions

promote good adhesion to all sub-strates, are flexible enough to accom-modate differing expansion coefficients of the materials used, and therefore offer optimal durability. Since EIFS are constantly exposed to the weather, effective protection against water is essential. VINNAPAS® dispersions can be used to modify these systems, enabling them to withstand differing climatic conditions.


Every layer (adhesive, embedding

and top coat layer) of an EIFS system

performs its own function.

VINNAPAS® dispersions can be used as

binder for the EPS panel adhesive and

for the base coat. In other words, only

one dispersion is needed for the entire

system.

Some of these dispersions also provide

good fire resistance.

PRIMERS – BE PREPARED

Most buildings are built one layer upon the next, with primers consoli-dating the substrate to ensure the long-term durability of each sub-sequent layer. VINNAPAS® dispersions confer the right properties to a wide range of primers for indoor and outdoor use. They ensure good adhesion and low absorption by the substrate surface. The modification

As a whole, polymer-modified primers reduce a substrate's absorbency, acting as a bonding agent between the substrate and the next layer. Primers under outdoor and humid conditions require water repel-lent properties, which is where hydrophobic VINNAPAS® dispersions come
