WACKER POLYMERS recently announced a change in the names of its
Airflex®, Flexbond®,
Flexcryl®and Vinac®products.
All vinyl acetate homopolymer, vinyl acetate-ethylene and acrylic copolymer
grades will now be known as VINNAPAS®. All copolymer
dispersions containing vinyl chloride will now be known as
VINNOL®. The goal is to simplify communications with
customers, distributors and research facilities worldwide via a uniform
nomenclature. Another objective is to further boost product recognition and
customer acceptance.
WACKER POLYMERS is a leading manufacturer of vinyl
acetate-ethylene and vinyl chloride copolymers used mainly as binders in the
construction-chemical, adhesive, nonwoven, paint, surface-coating, paper,
carpet, and textile industries.
Last year, WACKER acquired Air Products and Chemicals’ shares
in Air Products Polymers (APP) and Wacker Polymer Systems (WPS), its two former
joint ventures. APP and WPS are now fully integrated into the WACKER Group.
