PUT YOUR TRUST IN A PERFECT
COMBINATION OF EXPERIENCE AND
INNOVATION
WACKER POLYMERS is one of the
world’s leading suppliers of high-
quality binders and polymer additives.
WACKER scientists have been work-
ing with polymeric binders since the
1950s, and with vinyl acetate/ethylene
(VAE) dispersions since the mid-
1960s. Now, WACKER POLYMERS is
the market and technology leader in
VAE dispersions with production sites
in Europe, the USA and Asia.
Whether for adhesives, paints, coatings or
engineered fabrics – the future belongs
to environmentally friendly systems.
WACKER POLYMERS supplies you with
an important component of such sys-
tems: a product range that includes low-
odor, low-VOC and APEO-free binders,
but still offers full performance and in
many cases cost advantages.
WACKER, VINNAPAS® and VINNOL® are
registered trademarks of Wacker Chemie AG.

For Adhesives THAT COMBINE
Efficiency and Performance
High-performance products with
low environmental impact. Many
VINNAPAS® dispersions for the ad-
hesives market offer excellent future
prospects, cost advantages and
superior performance, and are char-
acterized by low-odor, low-VOC and
zero APEO content.
As high-quality polymers, they boast an
exceptional range of properties, allowing
them to bond a range of different sub-
strates. In over 70 years of development
and production of polymer dispersions,
we have gathered extensive experience
and expertise, which is reflected in our
unique product portfolio.
The major applications of VINNAPAS®
include adhesives for paper and packag-
ing, for woodworking and for flooring.

Paper and Packaging
VINNAPAS® dispersions for paper and
packaging adhesives are used in a wide
range of applications. Whether for gluing
paper and cardboard, for envelopes, in
bookbinding, for cardboard boxes, for
lamination of paper to difficult-to-bond
substrates or for ready-to-use all-round
adhesives. VINNAPAS® dispersions pro-
vide the optimum solution, in best quality
and with a superior cost/benefit.
Their features include:
– High setting speeds
– Excellent machine running properties
for both roller and nozzle application
– Perfectly balanced adhesive and
cohesive properties
– Broad formulation range
Woodworking
For formulating wood and furniture adhe-
sives, we recommend using VINNAPAS®
dispersions because of their good water
resistance, high heat resistance and
excellent creep resistance.
VINNAPAS® dispersions are impressive
for their excellent quality and offer con-
vincing performance in a wide variety of
adhesive applications:
– Wood adhesives of categories D2 to D4
– Adhesives for membrane pressing and
vacuum forming
– Laminating special papers, PVC and
other films
– EPI adhesives
Flooring
VINNAPAS® dispersions are particularly
suitable for formulating very low-emission
dispersion adhesives, and are therefore
highly valued for bonding PVC, rubber,
linoleum, polyolefin, cork and textile cov-
erings.
