WACKER – LEADER AND INNOVATOR
IN A CHANGING ADHESIVES MARKET
WACKER is a leading supplier of vinyl
acetate-based polymer dispersions
for waterborne adhesives. If there is
one thing that describes WACKER
today, it is ‘future-focused’.
The permanently changing and ever
challenging needs of the market drive
the adhesive formulation industry and
the manufacturing industries it
supplies. Therefore, we continuously
develop and revise our product range
to reflect present and future market
needs, the foremost of which are
greater efficiency, flexibility and
compliance with consumer health
and environmental concerns.
4
A Tradition of Innovation
As early as the 1950s, WACKER scientists worked on polymer binders and by
the mid 1960s, successfully developed
vinyl actetate-ethylene copolymer (VAE)
dispersions. Since then, WACKER has
never stopped refining and improving its
VAE technology. As a result, WACKER
has continued to set the benchmark in
copolymer dispersions. WACKER
reinvests approximately four percent of
sales revenue into R&D across the company. Over the past four years, WACKER
has applied for patents on 528 inventions
resulting in a patent portfolio of 5,000
patents already granted and another
2,900 patents pending.
Broad Range of Products and
Solutions
WACKER’s polymers business line specia­
lizes in dispersions based on vinyl acetateethylene co- and terpolymers (VAE) and
polyvinyl acetate homopoly­mers (PVAc).
Today the WACKER VINNAPAS® portfolio
caters to the needs of adhesives suppliers to the paper and packaging, wood
and wood-based materials, flooring and
construction, pressure-sensitive paper
labels as well as tapes and automotive
industries. Such diverse application
requirements call for a clearly differentiated and adapted product portfolio. Our
VINNAPAS® product range offers adhesive dispersions designed to fulfill this
demand. To highlight our cutting-edge
products and latest innovations, we have
introduced VINNAPAS® Plus.
Global Expertise with Local Focus
We also give our customers the benefits
of working with a global network that

VAE – The Technology Defining
Today and Shaping Tomorrow
WACKER developed VAE technology
in the mid-60s and began industrial
scale production in 1966. Today,
WACKER still pioneers the technology’s development and is responsible
for one of the largest share of global
VAE production.
The High-Performance Choice
Vinyl acetate-ethylene (VAE) technology is
increasingly replacing other technologies
due to the continuous refinement of its
core benefits, which include high adhesion, broad formulation flexibility, high
setting speed and excellent cost-in-use.
Recent developments in the VINNAPAS®
range have extended its applicability
beyond the traditional paper and packaging, wood working, flooring and construction markets to new markets, such as
pressure-sensitive labeling and automotive adhesives.
The VINNAPAS® range offers a broad
selection of products to enable adhesives
manufacturers to formulate the right balance of cost and performance for their
end-customer’s adhesive application.
Designed with Market-Leading Insight
Due to their copolymer composition, vinyl
acetate-ethylene copolymer dispersions
enable the formulation of adhesives with
low migration potential and reduce or
avoid the need for a film-forming agent.
VINNAPAS® dispersions are stabilized
with colloid systems and/or surfactant
systems. The most common colloid
system used in adhesive applications is
poly(vinyl alcohol), a large water-soluble
molecule. It provides the optimum
rheology for a wide range of adhesive
applications, e.g. paper and packaging
applications.
6
Surfactant stabilized dispersions typically
show higher shear thinning than PVOH
stabilized dispersions. Their advantages
include better adhesion to plastics,
clearer films, higher water resistance
and good spray­ability.
Superior Properties Enabling
Long-Lasting Adhesives
VINNAPAS® VAE dispersions feature an
excellent adhesion and cohesion balance
as well as high degrees of wet tack. In
addition, they bond to a wide variety of
substrates. Specific VINNAPAS® products
also offer the advantage of being suitable
for both roller applications and the nozzle
technology that is replacing the roller
technology in many markets.
Environmental and Health Impact
All of our VINNAPAS® dispersions for
the adhesives market are water-based,
and produced without organic solvents
or plasticizers. Furthermore, APEO
surfactants are not used as stabilizers
in the adhesive dispersion range. These
characteristics put them in line with evertightening consumer health legislation,
especially for food packaging, – in this
sector, the migration of constituents from
packaging materials into food is under
intense scrutiny.
VINNAPAS® VAE Dispersion Key Benefits
•F
uture-proof technology based on vinyl
­acetate monomer and ethylene feedstocks
• Heat resistance, high degrees of wet tack,
fast setting speed
• No need for plasticizer in the formulation,
thus allowing adhesives with low migration
potential
7

basements and bathrooms) as well as for
exterior applications with direct water
contact (e.g. windows). Based on 70
years of expertise and development,
WACKER’s dispersions have water resistance levels that can be adjusted to match
the specific application areas of the
wood-based materials. For example,
the new VINNAPAS® DPX 271 dispersion,
a water resistant and ultra low formaldehyde binder, enables discoloration-free
bonding of sensitive types of wood.
22
Vinyl, Foil and Paper Lamination
Their good adhesion to impregnated
paper, PVC and PP foils enables
VINNAPAS® VAE dispersions to be
used for decorative foil wet lamination
on chipboards, MDFs and hardboards.
In some blends such as polyurethane
dispersions, VINNAPAS® VAE dispersions
increase the green strength of the bond
and yield adhesives for 3D vacuum forming. This provides good adhesion to vinyl
foils, wood veneer and wooden substrates.

Textile flooring and elastic coverings
should be attractive, as well as fulfill
functional requirements. Regardless if it
is for carpets, cork, PVC flooring, or for
office or residential applications, today’s
customers want products that are lowemission, pollutant-free, easy to clean,
robust and long-lasting. VINNAPAS®
dispersions support our customers to
comply with regulations and labels such
as EC1. They have high initial tack with
outstanding cohesion and the resultant
dimensional stability when bonding
elastic floor coverings.
Wooden Flooring
Wooden floors are surfaces with a
natural flair and attractive appearance,
but choosing the right wood-flooring
adhesives is essential. Wood-flooring
adhesives formulated with VINNAPAS®
dispersions feature a variety of advantages. Suitable for many different types
of wood and substrates, wood-flooring
adhesives formulated with VINNAPAS®
produce a perfect and stable long-term
bond. These water-based dispersions
exhibit high cohesion values paired with
good corrective possibilities.
We cater to all your
surface adhesion needs
