Wacker Chemie AG: WACKER expands production capacity for dispersions at its Burghausen site - Seite 2
In this way, WACKER is taking account of the globally rising demand for high-quality polymeric binders, which is being driven by worldwide trends such as urbanization, renovation and energy efficiency. Alongside the new reactor, the Group is also investing in the expansion and modernization of local infrastructure. "We are not only making a key contribution to supply security in the years to come, but also to the cost-efficient production of our dispersions and dispersible polymer powders," explained Peter Summo, head of the WACKER POLYMERS business division.
With over 60 years' experience in the development and production of dispersions and dispersible polymer powders, WACKER is a global technology and market leader in the field of vinyl-acetate-based
copolymers and terpolymers. The binders find use in sectors such as construction, paints, coatings and adhesives, for example for formulating high-quality tile adhesives, cementitious waterproofing
membranes, energy-saving external thermal insulation composite systems, or low-odor, low-emission interior paints.
