MUNICH/MEXICO CITY - Munich-based chemicals group WACKER has expanded the service portfolio at its technical center in Mexico City. The local facility now comprises applications technology and test equipment for polymer dispersions needed as binders for architectural coatings and adhesives. The expansion not only enables WACKER to help its local customers develop new and tailor-made products for the region, it also encourages the exchange of know-how and promotes internationally recognized quality standards in Latin America.
The expansion has focused on vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer (VAE) dispersions used as binders for low-odor indoor paints, durable outdoor coatings and sustainable waterborne adhesives. This measure will help WACKER to further bolster its position as a globally leading producer and supplier of VAE dispersions.
