WACKER has developed a dispersible polymer powder that allows manufacturers to formulate interior wall paints in powder form. The technology does not require the addition of biocides and offers key advantages when it comes to storing and transporting paints.

Using a certified biomass-balanced method for acetic acid, generated as a byproduct in the woodworking industry, these VAE dispersions belong to WACKER's new VINNECO line of products.

Vinyl acetate-based binders offer coatings formulators proven performance, and this technology continues to advance to meet the evolving needs of the coatings industry.

After an inauspicious introduction more than a half-century ago, vinyl acetate-ethylene technology finally appears poised to go mainstream in the coatings market.
