Key Properties of VAE Redispersible Powders

Flexibility and Adhesion One of the standout properties of VAE RDPs is their ability to improve the flexibility and adhesion of construction materials. This makes them particularly valuable in applications where movement or vibration is expected, as they help prevent cracking and improve the longevity of the finished product. Water Resistance VAE RDPs also enhance the water […]

VAE Redispersible Powders (RDPs) in Building & Construction

Vinyl acetate-co-ethylene copolymers (VAE) in powder form are white, free-flowing, dry powders that can be easily redispersed into water to form a stable emulsion. Often referred to as “solid latex,” VAE redispersible powders (RDPs) are easier to ship, store (thanks to excellent storage stability), handle, and dry-mix compared to VAEs in emulsion form. VAEs dominate […]

What’s the effects of HPMC for the Cement-Based Building Material Mortar

1.Water-Holding Capacity Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) helps to significantly improve the water-holding capacity of mortar. Just a low level of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose addition can lead to a significant improvement in the water retention rate of the mortar. When the addition level is 0.002%, the water retention rate increases from 83% to 88%; while […]

Chemistry of Redispersible Polymer Powder

The chemistry of RDP revolves around the polymerization of monomers to form stable polymer dispersions, which are later spray-dried to obtain the powder form. Key factors influencing the properties of RDPinclude: Polymer Composition: Different polymers offer varying properties such as flexibility, adhesion, and water resistance. For instance, VAE-based RPPs are renowned for their excellent adhesion […]

Introduction to Redispersible Polymer Powder

Redispersible Polymer Powder is a free-flowing, white powder obtained through the spray-drying of polymer dispersions. These powders consist of a blend of synthetic polymers such as vinyl acetate ethylene (VAE), vinyl acetate/vinyl versatate (VeoVa), ethylene-vinyl chloride (E-VC), and others. The production process involves the conversion of liquid dispersions into solid powder form while preserving their […]
