WACKER is one of <strong>the</strong> world’s leading<br />
suppliers of high-quality binders and<br />
polymer additives. WACKER scientists<br />
have been working with polymeric<br />
binders since <strong>the</strong> 1950s, and with highperformance<br />
vinyl acetate/ethylene<br />
(VAE) copolymer <strong>dispersions</strong> since<br />
<strong>the</strong> mid-1960s. Now, WACKER is <strong>the</strong><br />
market and technology leader in VAE<br />
<strong>dispersions</strong> with world class production<br />
sites in <strong>the</strong> Americas, Europe and<br />
Asia.<br />
WACKER, VINNAPAS ® and VINNOL ® are registered<br />
trademarks of <strong>Wacker</strong> <strong>Chemie</strong> AG.<br />
The future belongs <strong>to</strong> environmentally<br />
friendly systems. WACKER supplies you<br />
with an important component of such<br />
systems: a product range that includes<br />
low-VOC, FDA-compliant and non-APEO<br />
surfactant stabilized binders, but still<br />
offers full performance and in many<br />
cases cost advantages.<br />

High-performance products with low<br />

VINNAPAS ® and VINNOL ® <strong>dispersions</strong><br />
for <strong>the</strong> adhesives market are characterized<br />
as water-based, solvent-free,<br />

WACKER’s product line includes vinyl<br />
acetate/ethylene (VAE) copolymer <strong>dispersions</strong><br />
and polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) water<br />
resistant homopolymer <strong>dispersions</strong>.<br />
VAEs function as high-quality binders,<br />
providing adhesion and cohesion, hydrolytic<br />
stability, <strong>the</strong>rmal stability, high<br />
degrees of wet tack, fast setting speeds,<br />
high solids content and excellent resistance<br />
<strong>to</strong> plasticizers. VAEs boast an<br />
exceptional range of properties, allowing<br />
<strong>the</strong>m <strong>to</strong> bond a wide range of different<br />
substrates, <strong>to</strong> have a broad formulation<br />
latitude and be applied via a host of<br />
high-speed application methods. In over<br />
70 years of development and production<br />
of polymer <strong>dispersions</strong>, we have ga<strong>the</strong>red<br />
extensive experience and expertise,<br />
which is reflected in our unique product<br />
portfolio.<br />
VINNAPAS ® and VINNOL ® <strong>dispersions</strong><br />
are particularly suitable for formulating<br />
very low-emission dispersion adhesives,<br />
and are <strong>the</strong>refore highly valued for bonding<br />
coated paperboard, PVC, rubber,<br />
linoleum, polyolefin, cork and textile<br />
coverings used in a wide range of applications<br />
including:<br />
• Au<strong>to</strong>motive<br />
• Bookbinding<br />
• Case and car<strong>to</strong>n packaging<br />
• Cigarette manufacturing<br />
• Cups and tube winding<br />
• Envelope manufacturing<br />
• EPI adhesives<br />
• Flooring<br />
• Foil and film laminating<br />
• Furniture laminating<br />
• Glass and cellulose insulation<br />
• Glass and plastic bottle labeling<br />
• Membrane pressing<br />
• Multiwall and specialty bags<br />
• PVC laminating<br />
• Underlayments<br />
• Vacuum forming<br />
• Wood adhesives
VINNAPAS ® and VINNOL ® <strong>dispersions</strong><br />
are impressive for <strong>the</strong>ir excellent quality<br />
and can be protected with colloid systems,<br />
surfactant systems, or a combina-<br />
tion of both. The most common colloid<br />
system used in adhesive applications is<br />
polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH). PVOH is a large<br />
molecule that is water soluble. It will<br />
<strong>the</strong>refore contribute a high degree of wet<br />
tack <strong>to</strong> a dispersion that is not possible<br />
with surfactant protection.<br />
VAE <strong>dispersions</strong> protected with partially<br />
hydrolyzed PVOH can be readily machine<br />
applied and are non-spattering. They display<br />
fast setting, have good flow and are<br />
easy <strong>to</strong> clean up. Surfactant-protected<br />
systems are much more thixotropic than<br />
PVOH-stabilized <strong>dispersions</strong> and become<br />
thinner under high shear conditions.<br />
Advantages of surfactant-protected <strong>dispersions</strong><br />
include lower heat-seal temperature,<br />
better adhesion <strong>to</strong> plastics, clearer<br />
films, higher water resistance and good<br />
sprayability.<br />
In some cases, our <strong>dispersions</strong> are<br />
polymerized with a combination of protective<br />
colloids and surfactants <strong>to</strong> achieve<br />
<strong>the</strong> best combination of performance<br />
attributes. VINNAPAS ® and VINNOL ®<br />
<strong>dispersions</strong> offer a wide range of products<br />
so that compounders can formulate or<br />
blend an adhesive product that will exhibit<br />
<strong>the</strong> best performance balance for <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
end cus<strong>to</strong>mer’s adhesive application.<br />
