External Thermal Insulation Systems (ETICS)

Application

VINNAPAS® dispersible powders and VINNAPAS® dispersions provide external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS) with a wider range of benefits.

ETICS

Specific Benefits

  • Improved adhesion to various substrates, thus increasing flexibility and impact strength of the system
  • Superior flame retardancy and reduced smoke development due to the low calorific value of vinyl acetate-ethylene (VAE) dispersions
VINNAPAS_RGB_r_blue

Technical Support

The EOTA Test Center in Burghausen, Germany, offers testing for thermal insulation composite systems under different weathering conditions. ETICS test walls are built according to customer specifications which are then exposed to various weathering cycles.

VAE-Modified Exterior Plasters

Application

VINNAPAS® polymer binders improve the quality of plasters. They enhance adhesion and flexibility and help prevent weathering damage. Specific grades of VINNAPAS® dispersible polymer powder are available to increase water or fire resistance. VINNAPAS® dispersions exhibit excellent color stability in pigmented RTU formulations.

Specific Benefits

  • Improved adhesion to a broad variety of different substrates
  • Increased impact resistance
VINNAPAS_RGB_r_blue

Technical Support

Plasters on facades can get easily damaged by balls or bicycle handlebars. In this test, the highspeed camera reveals the benefits of polymer modification of plasters: impact resistance is greatly enhanced.

VINNAPAS_RGB_r_blue

Sustainability Impact

Polymer modification strengthens the impact resistance of walls and structures. It helps prevent cracks and water ingress, which deteriorates the wall and decreases energy efficiency. Polymer modification thus supports durability and energy efficiency. This is part of our strategy to provide more value with fewer resources.

Our solutions for plasters are part of our sustainability strategic pillar "VALUE UP" and support United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) No. 11 and No. 13.

Silicone-Bound Exterior Plasters

Application

In silicone resin emulsion plasters (SREP®) and organosilicate plasters, SILRES® BS silicone binders and additives serve as valuable building blocks to protect and preserve buildings.

Specific Benefits

  • High water repellency
  • Water-vapor permeability
SILRES_RGB_r_blue_png

Sustainability Impact

Silicone-bound plasters keep facades dry longer which improves insulation capacity and reduces energy consumption. Studies have shown:

Reduction of heat loss from facades by up to 40%*.
Reduction of cooling due to 35 % higher Solar Reflectance Index**

* Study Fraunhofer-Institut für Bauphysik 2007
** Joint Study with Dubai Central Laboratory 2020

SILRES® BS silicone binders help to reduce CO2-emissions generated by conventional fossil-based energy for heating and cooling.

Our solutions for plasters are part of our sustainability strategic pillar "VALUE UP" and support United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) No. 9, No. 11 and No. 12.

Exterior Primers

Application

Primers are essential to ensure the long-term stability of layered building systems. For outdoor applications, we recommend hydrophobic VINNAPAS® dispersions.

Specific Benefits

  • Easy processing with short drying time
  • Excellent crack-bridging
  • Can be painted or plastered
VINNAPAS_RGB_r_blue

Technical Support

At our innovative facilities in Burghausen, Germany, we diligently verify methods that adhere to a wide range of standards - such as the tensile adhesion bond strength on non-porous substrates.

With VINNAPAS® silanized S/A dispersions, primers on non-absorbing substrates reach an adhesion strength of up to ~3.5 N/mm2

Mode of failure is cohesive in the substrate
VINNAPAS_RGB_r_blue

Sustainability Impact

WACKER offers VINNAPAS® binders, which do not contain solvents or plasticizers, thus enabling low-VOC, EMICODE-compliant formulations. In addition, primers based on VINNAPAS® ensure a long service life for layered building systems.

Our solutions for primers are part of our sustainability strategic pillar "VALUE UP" and support United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) No. 3.
