To strengthen its Asian presence, the Munich-based Wacker Group has opened a new technical center in Singapore. The facility will serve as a regional Center of Excellence for construction polymers, silicone emulsions, silicone resins and antifoam agents, the main focus being on the development of applications in the construction, textiles and pulp & paper-processing sectors, and in the process industry. The technical center shall enable Wacker to tap the fast-growing markets in this part of the world. It will also allow Wacker to offer customers local product-development support and to promote internationally recognized quality standards in Southeast Asia.
The technical center is located at Wacker Chemicals (South Asia) Pte. Ltd. The WACKER sales subsidiary moved to larger premises in the Singapore Science Park a few weeks ago, thus enabling it to realize this project. The new laboratory, which covers a floor space of 400 square meters, will offer Wacker Polymers' and Wacker Silicones' customers support in developing new products and product applications for the Southeast Asian market. The focus will be on dispersible polymer-powder formulations for the manufacture of polymer-modified dry-mix mortars for the local construction industry. Support for silicone emulsions, silicone resins and antifoam agents will also be provided.
