16 May 2025 CW Team

Wacker Chemie AG has commenced production of hybrid polymers at its Nünchritz site in Saxony, Germany. The new high-speed facility, now ramping up operations, aims to meet growing global demand for high-performance adhesives and sealants. The investment, worth several tens of millions of euros, has created fifty new jobs.

Replacing the previous unit at Burghausen, the advanced facility significantly expands Wacker’s production capacity. Hybrid polymers, especially the GENIOSIL® STP-E range, are increasingly used in adhesives for flooring, roofing membranes, and construction applications. These binders enable the formulation of tin-free, consumer-friendly products based on alpha-silane technology.

Wacker, a global leader in silane-terminated polymers, expects the adhesives market to continue expanding at rates exceeding five per cent annually. The facility is equipped with integrated process steps to ensure efficiency and scalability for future growth.

Environmental benefits and strong performance make Wacker’s polymers attractive to manufacturers seeking sustainable solutions. The company now employs 1,600 people in Saxony, making it the region’s largest chemical employer.
