Performance, Application Fields, and Advantages of Redispersible Latex Powder
The redispersible latex powder product is a water-soluble redispersible powder, divided into copolymers such as ethylene/vinyl acetate, vinyl acetate/tertiary carbonate ethylene, and acrylic copolymers. It is a powder adhesive produced by spray drying, with polyvinyl alcohol serving as a protective colloid. This powder can quickly redisperse into an emulsion upon contact with water. Due to its high bonding ability and unique properties such as water resistance, workability, and thermal insulation, redispersible latex powders have an extremely wide range of applications.
Redispersible Latex Powder Performance Characteristics:
- Outstanding bonding strength, enhancing the flexibility of mortar with an extended open time.
- Imparts excellent alkali resistance to mortar, improving adhesion, bond strength, flexural strength, waterproofing, plasticity, wear resistance, and workability.
- Particularly strong flexibility in flexible crack-resistant mortars.
Redispersible Latex Powder Application Fields:
- Exterior Wall Insulation Systems:
- Bonding mortar: Ensures a strong bond between the mortar and the EPS board, enhancing bond strength.
- Rendering mortar: Guarantees mechanical strength, crack resistance, durability, and impact resistance of the insulation system.
- Ceramic Tile Adhesive and Grout:
- Tile adhesive: Provides high-strength bonding for mortar and sufficient flexibility to accommodate different thermal expansion coefficients of substrates and tiles.
- Grout: Imparts mortar with impermeability, preventing water infiltration, and exhibits good bonding and low shrinkage, enhancing flexibility.
- Tile Renovation and Wood Board Skim Coat:
- Enhances adhesion and bond strength of skim coat on smooth surfaces like tiles, mosaic, and plywood, ensuring flexibility to accommodate substrate expansion coefficients.
- Interior and Exterior Wall Putty:
- Improves bond strength of putty, providing flexibility to absorb varying stresses in different base layers.
- Ensures good aging resistance, impermeability, and moisture resistance of putty.
- Self-leveling Floor Mortar:
- Ensures compatibility of mortar’s elastic modulus, flexural strength, and crack resistance.
- Improves wear resistance, bonding strength, and cohesion of the mortar.
- Interface Mortar:
- Enhances the surface strength of the substrate, ensuring strong bonding of the mortar.
- Cement-Based Waterproof Mortar:
- Ensures waterproofing performance of mortar coating and provides excellent bonding to the substrate.
- Improves compressive and flexural strength of mortar.
- Repair Mortar:
- Matches the expansion coefficient of the mortar with the substrate, reducing the elastic modulus of the mortar.
- Ensures sufficient hydrophobicity, breathability, and bonding strength.
- Masonry Plaster Mortar:
- Improves water retention, reduces water loss in porous substrates, simplifies construction operations, and enhances work efficiency.
