On April 18, the joint laboratory project of WACKER Chemical Co., Ltd. and Beijing BJDF Waterproof Technology Co., Ltd. was officially launched in Beijing. This project aims to further strengthen the upstream and downstream cooperation in the field of waterproof coatings. Through the "BJDF-WACKER Chemical Joint Laboratory" set up in their respective workplaces, the two companies will work together on vinyl acetate / ethylene ( VAE) basic research and application research of emulsion waterproof coatings to meet market demand for high performance and green environmental protection building materials products.
With the development of the real estate market, the market demand for waterproof coatings in China is constantly increasing. At the same time, due to the increase in consumption levels, the market has also put forward higher requirements for waterproof coatings, and there is a greater need for low-odor, solvent-free, and environmentally-friendly high-performance products. "BJDF-WACKER Chemical Joint Laboratory" aims to further strengthen the upstream and downstream cooperation in the field of waterproof coatings, and jointly develop waterproof coatings based on new vinyl acetate / ethylene (VAE) emulsions to meet the market's demand for high-performance and green building materials Product demand. The two companies have set up the "Oriental Yuhong-Wacker Chemical Joint Laboratory" in their respective workplaces, and have set specific projects, goals and work plans for the next two years.
"As a world leader in VAE technology, we provide solutions to the current challenges in the field of waterproofing," said Dr. Christoph Riemer, Global Vice President of WACKER's Consumer Products and Industrial Polymers business unit, during the launch ceremony. "By establishing a joint laboratory with Dongfang Yuhong and carrying out project cooperation, we will be able to better understand downstream market needs and further strengthen our position as an innovative partner of the Chinese coatings industry."
"BJDF is China's largest waterproofing system service provider. Adhering to scientific and technological innovation and sustainable development, BJDF and WACKER share a common development philosophy. The establishment of the joint laboratory will help to enhance the comprehensive strategic cooperation between the two parties. Provide high-performance, environmentally friendly products and solutions for the Chinese waterproofing market, "added Hu Wentao, WACKER's vice president of Greater China, responsible for the polymer business.
BJDF Group President Xiang Jinming also attended today's launch ceremony. He spoke highly of the joint laboratory project and said, "WACKER CHEMICAL has a deep research foundation and rich application experience in the fields of VAE and silicone technology. , And has a product series of different dimensions. The strategic cooperation with WACKER will further enhance our technical advantages in the field of building waterproofing, and help Oriental Yuhong fully implement its corporate mission of creating a lasting and safe environment for humankind.
VAE emulsion-based waterproof coating has durable and reliable waterproof protection ability, and can be widely used in kitchens, bathrooms, terraces, swimming pools, structural concrete surface protection systems and basement walls. Because WACKER VINNAPAS® emulsions have very low volatile organic compound (VOC) content and no raw materials containing alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (APEO) in the production raw materials, modified cement-based waterproof coatings not only With excellent application performance, it also has excellent environmental advantages.
