Redispersible latex powder

RDP/VAE

Redispersible Polymer Powder (RDP) is a polymer-based functional additive designed for cement- and gypsum-based dry-mix construction materials. It is primarily used in tile adhesives, EIFS/ETICS systems, repair mortars, waterproof mortars, self-leveling compounds, and other dry-mix formulations. RDP improves adhesion, flexibility, cohesion, crack resistance, and durability by forming a polymer film within the hardened mortar. It provides reliable performance modification for manufacturers seeking stronger bonding, improved mechanical properties, and long-term durability in construction formulations.

Product Advantages

Key Performance

Adhesion

Improves bonding between mortar and substrates, helping provide stronger and more reliable adhesion in tile adhesives, repair mortars, EIFS/ETICS and other construction applications.

Flexibility

Improves the flexibility and deformation capability of hardened mortar, helping it accommodate substrate movement and temperature-related stress.

Crack Resistance

Helps reduce cracking caused by shrinkage, deformation and thermal stress, improving the integrity and service life of the mortar system.

Cohesion

Improves the internal cohesion of mortar, helping strengthen the mortar structure and enhance overall mechanical performance.

Water Resistance

Helps improve the resistance of hardened mortar to moisture and water exposure, supporting more reliable performance in wet and exterior applications.

Durability

Improves long-term mechanical performance and resistance to environmental stress, helping extend the service life of construction materials.
