Wacker Chemie AG is expanding its existing production plants for polymeric binders in Germany. The Munich-based chemical group is currently building another dispersion reactor with a capacity of 60,000t/yr at its Burghausen site. Some €25M have been earmarked for the production and local-infrastructure expansion. The plant is scheduled for completion before the end of the year.
Wacker’s dispersions are commonly used to formulate low-odour and low-emission indoor paints but can also be found in plasters, adhesives, carpet applications or technical textiles. Moreover, they are the key raw material for the production of dispersible polymer powders for construction applications.
