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 […]

Vinyl acetate and ethylene are copolymerised in an emulsion process to produce a VAE composition with an ethylene content of 10% to 40% in the copolymer in the first instance. Ethylene is a soft, hydrophobic monomeric unit in the copolymer that acts as the internal “plasticising” part. In the copolymer, ethylene effectively lowers the glass […]

Applications for VAE-RDP include the formulation of building materials such as tile adhesives, grouting, finishing plasters, smoothing compounds, thin mortars and sealing pastes. The amount of VAE-RDP added to cement and mortar is approximately 2-10%, depending on the desired increase in strength, impact resistance, adhesion and water resistance of the compound. For wall tile adhesive […]
