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.

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 specializes 

in dispersions based on vinyl acetateethylene 

co- and terpolymers (VAE) and 

polyvinyl acetate homopoly mers (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 

spans all key economic regions. 

WACKER is present with some 100 

subsidaries and sales offices, and the 

WACKER POLYMERS business line runs 

nine technical centers and five manfacturing 

plants across Europe, the Americas 

and the Asia-Pacific region. Although 

global in scope, we are local in focus with 

an in-depth understanding of local market 

needs and an emphasis on close relationships 

with our customers. 

A Dedication to Partnership and 

Knowledge-Sharing 

In accordance with our commitment to 

support the industry and our customers, 

we established the WACKER ACADEMY.

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. 

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 spray ability. 

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 

• Future-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

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.
