WACKER to Showcase Sustainable Binders for Coatings, Adhesives

25 Mar 2025 CW Team

True to the company motto “Here for you”, WACKER will, as it has in past events, once again focus on talks and the collaboration with customers at this year’s ECS. Numerous exhibits are intended to clearly demonstrate the relevant products and features in the booth’s “Coatings”, “Adhesives” and “Construction” zones. “Our focus this year is, for instance, on innovative hybrid polymers based on our new alpha3 technology. In terms of elastic modulus and recovery, they surpass their predecessors in every way. Moreover, they also allow the formulation of tin-free products which is a significant gain in consumer safety,” says WACKER Silicones President Tom Koini. Another highlight is a silicone sealant for natural stone that is based on biomethanol and produced in a resource-efficient manner. Koini: “Such products offer our customers real added value.”

Sustainable solutions for the building materials industry will also play an important role at the booth. For example, the chemicals group will be presenting special dispersible polymer powders that enable the formulation of high-quality tile adhesives based on emissions reduced cement. ”Sustainability is no longer a trend, but a business imperative along the value chain”, Peter Summo, President of WACKER’s Polymers division, points out. “We want our solutions to enable our customers to establish future technologies that cut CO2 emissions and conserve resources. Sustainability is the key to future success.”

WACKER is all set to showcase several product novelties at this year’s European Coatings Show (ECS) from March 25 to 27. In Hall 1, Booth 1-206, the company will be demonstrating its expertise as a leading manufacturer of specialty chemicals for the coatings, adhesives and building materials industry on a floor space of 300 square meters. Among the newcomers are alpha-silane-crosslinking binders for the formulation of high-quality adhesives, sealants and assembly adhesives. Sustainable solutions for the coatings and building materials industry will also play a major role this year.
