Redispersible Polymer Powder VAE RDP Powder

Redispersible polymer powder is a powder of organic binder made by spray drying a special emulsion (high molecular polymer). This powder can be quickly re-dispersed into an emulsion after contact with water, and has the same properties as the initial emulsion. That is, a film can be formed after the water evaporates. This film has […]

The Working Mechanism of RDP in Mortar

Dispersible polymer powder is physically mixed with other inorganic binders(such as cement, slaked lime, gypsum, clay, etc) and various aggregates, fillers and other additives such as Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose(HPMC), polysaccharide(starch ether) and cellulose, finally to produce mortar. When the dry mortar is added to the water and stirred, the rubber powder particles are dispersed into the […]
