A suitable binder for mineral building products such as wall systems and insulation is Intercol's VA 611 adhesives.
These binders are often used in mineral insulation systems, such as when using wool. Mineral insulation systems offer good thermal, acoustic, fire resistance and mechanical properties. Many mineral building systems are also free of formaldehyde and phenol, contributing to better indoor air quality.
Binders for various bio-based building materials
There are several bio-based building materials that are becoming increasingly popular for their environmentally friendly properties. Intercol's binders can be used for, among other things:
- Wood: A widely used biobased material known for its durability and thermal insulation properties.
- Bamboo: A fast-growing material that is versatile and used for structures, furniture and insulation materials.
- Hemp: Used for insulation materials, floor coverings and wall panels because of its low environmental impact.
- Mycelium: A biomass produced by fungi and used for insulation materials and flooring.
- Algae: Wodt usedas a material for insulation and concrete products because of its CO2 storage capacity.
- Wool: Often used as insulation material because of its natural properties.
These materials are not only environmentally friendly, but also offer unique properties that make them suitable for various applications in the construction industry.

Binders for mineral building materials
There are several mineral building materials that are widely used for their durability, insulating properties and reliability. Intercol's binders are used for, among others:
- Mineral Wool: This includes glass wool and rock wool, which are often used for insulation because of their excellent thermal and sound insulation properties.
- Plasterboard: A widely used material for wall constructions and ceilings due to its light weight and easy installation.
- Stone wool slabs: These are used for facade insulation and offer excellent thermal properties.
- Fibre optic: Often used for insulation and fireproofing applications because of its low density and high insulating value.
- Concrete: A widely used construction material consisting of cement, sand and stones or shelves. It offers strength and durability.
- Glass wool boards: These are used for facade insulation and offer excellent thermal properties
Vinyl acetate-ethylene (VAE) binders
Intercol's binders offer several advantages in construction applications:
- Sustainability: VAE binders provide protection against environmental factors such as UV radiation, weathering and abrasion.
- Environmentally friendly: They often have a low volatile organic compound (VOC) content, meaning they are less harmful to the environment.
- Versatility: VAE binders can be used on various materials such as wood, metal, plastic and textiles.
- Flexibility: They offer improved adhesion and flexibility to construction materials, contributing to the durability of the final products.
- Cost-effective: UAE binders are often cost-effective and offer a good balance between performance and price.
