EVENTS

ACS 2026

Introducing Next-Generation Acrylic SolutionsAt this year’s show, VINAVIL will highlight two advanced acrylic emulsions designed to meet evolving performance and sustainability demands:

• CRILAT 4825 - A next-generation elastomeric acrylic for masonry and exterior wall coatings, engineered to deliver outstanding crack-bridging, color retention, waterproofing, and long-term durability in demanding environments.
• CRILAT 5800 - A highly versatile binder offering exceptional adhesion across low surface energy plastics, metals, wood, and concrete. Designed for low-VOC formulations, it enables high-performance coatings with broad application flexibility.
  

Proven Performance Across Key Applications

Visitors will also discover VINAVIL’s nano-technology-based polymer solutions, trusted across a wide range of applications, including Direct-to-metal (DTM) coatings, Wood coatings, Concrete and masonry coatings and Specialty and industrial applications.

Meet Our Global Team

Our commercial, R&D, and technical service teams from the United States, Canada, and Italy will be on-site to discuss formulation challenges, share insights, and collaborate on new opportunities.

We invite you to contact VINAVIL at ACS 2026 and discover how our innovations can support your next generation of coatings. VINAVIL - Your Partner in Polymers.

VINAVIL AND CNR IBE: A WINNING PARTNERSHIP

"There can be no successful future for companies and for the country if we are unable to put the relationship between public and private research in order.”

Always at the forefront in fostering synergy between public and private research, Vinavil, part of the Mapei Group, has long believed in collaboration with the CNR for the development and innovation of technological systems designed to support the technical solutions offered across its product range for specific application sectors.
The best example of this commitment is the long-standing collaboration between Vinavil and CNR-IBE, the National Research Council – Institute for BioEconomy (formerly IVALSA), in particular thanks to the valuable contribution of Eng. Benedetto Pizzo.
A few years ago, CNR-IBE absorbed the activities of IVALSA, the Institute for the Enhancement of Wood and Tree Species, and today represents an Italian center of excellence recognized worldwide in the wood sector.
Vinavil holds approximately 20% of the European market share for polymers sold in the wood adhesives sector. The growth and consolidation of this specific segment have also been achieved thanks to collaboration with research institutes such as CNR-IBE. This cooperation has enabled the development of important projects, including: the understanding of glue-line discoloration phenomena when using D3 adhesives on wood substrates; the study of bonding parameters for wood joints using polyvinyl adhesives through the application of radio frequency technology; the development of a methodology for the objective determination of the percentage of material removed from wood; the development of a rapid creep testing method for evaluating the mechanical properties of wood joints; the application of DMA (Dynamic Mechanical Analysis) techniques and their correlation with standard methods for evaluating wood adhesives.
More recently, the contribution of CNR-IBE has made it possible to further consolidate innovative technical solutions in the wood-based panels sector.
In particular, we would like to highlight the new product range specifically developed for the production of Class 1 and Class 2 plywood panels: Vinavil PW 195, 196, 295, 296, and 191. Please do not hesitate to contact our technical departments to learn more about the product range and application details.

TEAM

As of 1 April 2026, Claudia Raucci has taken on the role of Sustainability Specialist at the Milan headquarters, within the Regulatory function led by Fabio Abbà.
This position represents a new and strategic role for Vinavil. Drawing on her solid experience in the field of Management Systems, Claudia will focus on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies of our products and will act as supervisor for products covered by the ISCC PLUS certification (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification).
Her contribution will be essential in continuing to ensure efficiency and quality, particularly in relation to environmental sustainability matters.
