Building the Future
Ever since man crept out of the caves
and started to construct buildings he
has been using mortar in some shape
or form. The first breakthrough came
in the 20th century with the use
of liquid bonding agents and the
second more than 50 years ago with
the development by WACKER of dry
polymer binders – the dispersible
powders. VINNAPAS ® polymer
powders were pioneer products in the
area of drymix mortar technology.
2
VINNAPAS ® revolutionized the world of
construction by introducing products
that had previously been unthinkable,
products with high mechanical strength
and excellent adhesive power.
VINNAPAS ® polymer powders are
found in five major fields of application:
tile adhesives and self-leveling compounds,
exterior thermal insulation and
composite systems (ETICS), wall finish
systems and water proofing membranes
such as sealing slurries.
As well as having superior intrinsic
properties, VINNAPAS ® polymer powders
are so designed to be formulated
in highly sophisticated construction
products.
Further challenges are also on the
horizon: environmental compatibility,
healthy living, living closer together and
aesthetics – these are all aspects of
construction that we continue to work
on ensuring that we maintain our usual
high standards.

the addition oF teChnology
VINNAPAS ® polymer powders
enhance your building materials with
properties that include:
8
Excellent adhesion to a wide range of
substrates.
Flexibility – The long-term durability and
functionality of many systems depend
crucially on their flexibility (or deform-
ability). For floors and walls lied with tiles,
the mortar needs to be sufficiently flexible
to absorb the stresses and loads occurring
between the tiles and substrate. And
in exterior insulation and finish systems,
polymer-modified adhesives allow them
to accommodate any sliding of the
insulation board on the substrate that
may occur with time.
High abrasion resistance ensuring a
long life and good looking surfaces.
Improved workability which allow for ease
of application even under a wide range of
climatic conditions e.g. longer open time.
The addition of VINNAPAS ® polymer
powders increases your efficiency by
delivering you:
– Long-lasting products
– Extended renovation cycles
– Fast-drying mortars
– Thin-bed mortars

Picking the right product
VINNAPAS ® binders offer the broadest
product portfolio in the market for
formulating high-quality building materials
with precisely defined technical properties.
They enable the formulation of
dry-mix mortars.
All products help to optimize adhesion
and flexibility, the individual product
classes offer additional properties,
such as neutral effect on rheology,
hydrophobicity, thixotropy, improved
leveling, and a superplasticizing effect.
VINNAPAS ® is very versatile and can
also be found as a liquid binder which
is used in applications such as:
Architectural and Industrial coatings,
Adhesives, Engineered Fabrics and
Construction. If you have any questions
about possible applications please
ask our experts.

our mission
WACKER is a globally active company
that manufactures and sells chemical
products, and engages in intensive scientific
research. We are fully committed
to sustainable development, a principle
that is an integral part of our business
thinking and practices. We structure our
activities according to 8 Eco-Modules,
which cover subjects from manufacturing
efficiency to toxicity, which we will use as
indicators to create less of an overall
environmental footprint.
And when it comes to environmental
protection we believe prevention is
always better than cure which is why at
WACKER we focus more on prevention
than remedial measures. This process
begins as early as product development
and plant planning stages. It also means
that in accordance with the Responsible
Care ® initiative, measures often go
beyond what is legally required. We’re
continually working on reducing energy
consumption and conserving resources
and keep the public informed via our
annual community meetings at our
Nünchritz site and the Burghausen site’s
yearly environmental reports.

When we develop new products or
optimize existing products we are always
thinking about their environmental impact
now and in the future. Green building
is a topic that is on everyone’s lips
and we are constantly working on more
sustainable products.
And our commitment doesn't just
stop with our products – we recently
developed a PE bag for our polymer
powders that contains 40% less PE.
smaller FootPrint
Many of our products help to reduce the
carbon footprint along the life cycle of
construction products. By suppling
VINNAPAS ® polymer powders for exterior
thermal insulation and composite
systems (ETICS) we help lower end-user
heating costs, while cutting greenhousegas
emissions. ETICS can reduce heating
energy costs by 60% and cut the
energy lost by air-conditioners by as
much as 72%.
We ourselves managed to reduce
the specific energy consumption in
Burghausen by ~40% in the past 10 years
and we will continue to pursue a target
of increasing energy efficiency by 5% in
all our factories worldwide.

the Power oF Powder
Speed and reliability are important
factors when architects and building
contractors are choosing building
materials. A product should also be
easy to use – facilitating the work at
the job site.
When WACKER invented the polymer
binder in the form of a powder in 1957,
it became possible for the first time
to use a one-pack cement system. A
dry mortar is modified with VINNAPAS ®
dispersible polymer powder in the
factory, and only needs to be mixed with
water on site. The result is a high-quality
polymer-modified cement mortar with
clearly defined properties.
14
Factory-premixed mortars can be
produced with the correct proportions of
cement, fillers, additives and VINNAPAS ®
dispersible polymer powders. This eliminates
serious construction-site mixing
errors.
VINNAPAS ® dispersible polymer
powders ensure good adhesion,
even to smooth, non-porous surfaces.
Dry-mix mortars modified with
VINNAPAS ® polymer powders have
various advantages:
– Easy to transport and store
– The packaging is easy to dispose of
– Not at risk from bacterial growth
– Easy to use at the construction site
– Only water needs to be added

Tiles come in lots of different shapes
and sizes. They can be heavy or light,
porous or non-porous. VINNAPAS ®
polymer powders will ensure tiles
adhere to differing substrates in a
wide range of conditions.
Regardless of the type of tile being
used, the weakest point is the bond
between the tile and the substrate.
VINNAPAS ® N polymer powders
eliminate this weakness by significantly
improving the bonding strength of the
adhesive between both the substrate
and the tile. They improve the workability

selF-leVeling ComPounds –
it’s all haPPening under your Feet
In the construction business, self-

all buildings where flat, smooth and
hard-wearing floors are required.
With VINNAPAS ® polymer powders,
you can formulate self-leveling
20
compounds that are durable and firm
enough to walk on soon after laying.
They can be applied efficiently using
a mortar pump, they adhere to many
types of substrates and harden
rapidly without cracking.
VinnaPas ® standard ProduCts
The floor of a building is usually the
part that undergoes the most wear and
tear. And any floor surface, whether it
be wood, tiles or carpet, requires a
sound subfloor.
Self-leveling compounds eliminate any
unevenness or flaws – which is
particularly important when laying
vinyl or linoleum floors.
The addition of polymer binders to
modern self-leveling compounds makes
it possible to spread a thinner coat of
binder with increased adhesive and
flexural strength.
The number of demands placed on
self-leveling compounds means they
have necessarily become very
complex compositions that must set
and develop their strength very rapidly.
VINNAPAS ® polymer powders help
meet these special requirements.
These smooth, abrasion-resistant
floors are able to withstand severe
loads and are sufficiently flexible to
allow large areas to be worked faster.

They also reduce surface bleeding and
segregation.
VINNAPAS ® F-class polymer powders
for self-leveling compounds act as both
a binder and a super-plasticizer. This
feature is particularly advantageous for
pumpable compounds, where mechanical
mixing cuts mix times to a minimum.
Another advantage of this binder is that
it reduces shrinkage of cementitious
flooring compounds and screeds.

ComPosite systems – ConserVing
your energy
The finite energy resources of the
world are slowly running out. And as
the search for renewable sources
continues, the cost of energy continues
to rise. One of the most efficient
ways to save energy in buildings is
by thermal insulation. The better the
insulation the lower the running costs
22
VinnaPas ® standard ProduCts
For insulation systems to function
properly they have to bond well to the
substrate. Adhesive mortar modified
with VINNAPAS ® polymer powders has
three functions within this sandwich.
First, it creates a stable bond between
the insulation board and the wall.
Second, it levels out irregularities of
the substrate.

The exterior thermal insulation and composite
system is permanently exposed to
the elements. The durability of the entire
system depends heavily on the degree
to which it is saturated with moisture. In
order for the system and the underlying
walls to be protected, the base coat
must repel water.
This property can easily be conferred
with the addition of VINNAPAS ® H
polymer powders. They are hydrophobic
and make the mortar highly water
repellent.
