Silicone Resin Emulsion Paints Protect Facades againstWater and Dirt Pick-Up
Water is the natural enemy of every facade. Damage caused to buildings across the world by water penetration and damp walls can run into millions of euros. This category of damage and its associated costs can be prevented by using silicone resin emulsion paints (SREP).

Silicone resins form a protective cover of filler and pigment with the outer plaster coat. The cover consists of water-repellent capillaries and pores. It not only protects the facade against water ingress, but at the same time allows water vapor to escape from the masonry. Dry walls aren't the only benefit. Without water, less algae and fungal pores penetrate into the wall and fewer dirt and soot particles accumulate.

SREPs are often more expensive to purchase than traditional exterior paints, but they also last much longer. On average, the use of well-formulated SREPs doubles the life of a facade renovation. Furthermore, high-quality SREPs can help save energy as they keep facades dry and provide lasting protection for the insulation.

VINNAPAS VAE for Indoor and Outdoor Paints
WACKER produces a variety of different aqueous, solvent-free vinyl acetate/ethylene (VAE) dispersions. These are free of formaldehyde and plasticizers, and have an extremely low volatile organic compound (VOC) content.

VINNAPAS VAE dispersions not only lend themselves to developing odor-free indoor paints, they also enable the formulation of decorative outdoor paints. Furthermore, VAE dispersions have proven their worth as binders for the adhesives and sealants industry. VINNAPAS 426 and VINNAPAS 920 grades display excellent adhesion even to difficult substrates. High solids such as VINNAPAS 465 and VINNAPAS 7200 are additionally characterized by extremely fast setting.
