RDP VA/E

Vinyl Acetate-Ethylene (VA/E) Polymers

Redispersible polymer powders (RDP) enhance the performance of tile adhesives and adhesive mortars by improving flexibility, cohesiveness, and bond strength. They form a continuous polymer film that boosts water retention and workability. Produced through spray-drying of polymer dispersions, VAE (vinyl acetate-ethylene) powders combine strong adhesion with flexibility, offering both ecological and economic benefits. Ideal for high-performance construction materials, they ensure durability and ease of application.

Key Advantages

Improves Adhesion

Enhances bonding strength to dry mix mortar, essential for tile adhesives and repair mortars.
Increases Flexibility

Reduces cracking from substrate movement or thermal expansion, key for EIFS and flexible tile adhesives.
Enhances Workability & Water Retention

Improves mortar consistency, prevents rapid drying, and ensures better cement hydration.
Boosts Strength & Durability

Increases tensile and flexural strength, widely used in high-performance coatings and screeds.
Improves Water & Weather Resistance

Reduces water absorption, enhancing moisture protection in waterproofing and exterior finishes.
Enhances Environmental Performance

Contributes to dust suppression and lowers PM2.5 emissions in dry mix mortar production.

Q&A

Q1: Can RDP be used in dry-mix mortar?

A: Yes, RDP is specifically designed for dry-mix mortar. It improves adhesion, flexibility, and workability while ensuring long-term durability. When mixed with water on-site, it redistributes effectively, enhancing mortar performance.
Q2: Can RDP be used in exterior applications?

A: Yes, RDP is widely used in exterior applications such as EIFS, waterproofing mortars, and etc. It enhances weather resistance, flexibility, and adhesion, making it ideal for outdoor environments exposed to temperature changes and moisture.
Q3: What is the typical dosage of RDP in construction applications?

A: The dosage of RDP varies depending on the application, typically ranging from 1% to 5% of the total dry mix weight. We have TDS suggestion for each different RDP, ask now!
Q4: What are some best practices for handling and storing RDP?

A: RDP should be stored in a cool, dry place in its original sealed packaging to prevent moisture absorption. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight and high humidity. Use within the recommended shelf life for optimal performance.
