Applications of Redispersible Polymer Powder (RDP)
1. Construction industry:
Tile Adhesives: RDP enhances the adhesion, flexibility and water resistance of tile adhesives, improving the overall performance and durability of your tile installation.
Cement Mortar: RDP is often used in cement based mortars to improve workability, adhesion and durability. It also reduces cracks and increases the flexibility of the mortar.
2. Exterior Insulation and Finishing Systems (EIFS):
EIFS uses RDP to enhance the system’s flexibility and crack resistance, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing exterior finish.
3. Self-leveling compounds:
In self-leveling flooring compounds, RDP helps improve flow, adhesion and crack resistance.
4. Gypsum products:
RDP is used in gypsum-based products such as joint compound and stucco to enhance their adhesion, workability and resistance to cracking.
5. Paints and Coatings:
In the paint and coatings industry, RDP is used to improve the adhesion, flexibility and water resistance of latex paints. It also enhances the overall durability of the coating.
6. Textured Finishes:
Textured finishes commonly used in decorative coatings benefit from the use of RDP for improved texture retention and durability.
7. Asphalt modification:
RDP can be used in asphalt modification to increase the flexibility and durability of asphalt-based materials such as roofing membranes and pavements.
8. Adhesive:
In adhesive formulations, RDP improves adhesive strength, cohesion and flexibility, making it suitable for a variety of bonding applications.
