REDISPERSIBLE POLYMER POWDERS

DESCRIPTION

Redispersible polymer powder


Synonyms : RPP, polymer powder, polymer additive, RDP

Redispersible polymer powder (RPP) is a polymer capable, when mixed with water, to redisperse, again form aqueous polymer dispersions, which, as a result of curing, form a continuous polymer film, contributing to high water-holding capacity, adhesion and workability of dry building mixtures. 


Production method

The redispersible powder is obtained by spray drying a latex emulsion. To prevent the latex particles from sticking together during production and when diluted with water, polyvinyl alcohol is used. RPP (dry latexes) are usually produced on the basis of: polyvinyl acetate, copolymers of vinyl acetate with ethylene, copolymers of vinyl acetate with vinyl versatate, as well as acrylic polymers.


Properties

After mixing the dry mixture with water, the powder goes into dispersion and after drying forms a film. The film increases adhesion and elasticity, however, the more adhesion, the less elasticity and vice versa. Accordingly, powders are divided into rigid ones with high adhesion, highly elastic with low adhesion, and medium elastic with normal adhesion. In some powders, water repellents are added, imparting hydrophobic properties to the system.


Application area

Redispersible polymer powders are used in the manufacture of products such as:


- Tile adhesives; 

- Plasters; 

- Putties;

- Repair compositions; 

- Waterproofing; 

- Self-leveling floors, etc.

What Are Redispersible Polymer Powders (RDP)

Redispersible polymer powders are free-flowing, white powders manufactured by spray-drying polymer dispersions. When added to water, these polymer powders can disintegrate and form individual polymer dispersions again, with identical properties as the original dispersion.

Redispersible polymer powders are added to mortar to increase the flexibility and cohesiveness of mortar. This forms a continuous polymer film that helps improve water retention, enhance the bond strength of mortar, and improve the workability of dry mix mortar.

RDP Production Process

The redispersible polymer powder is a latex emulsion created by spray-drying macromolecular dispersions under particular conditions. During production, polyvinyl alcohol is added to stop the latex particles bonding together. These polymer powders are usually manufactured based on acrylic polymers, polyvinyl acetate, copolymers of vinyl acetate with vinyl versatate or with ethylene.
RDPs comprise of polymer resin, the crucial ingredient of dispersion particles and an important player for redispersible powders to function. As an additive, polymer powders act as modified resin and polymer resin.

Properties of Redispersible Polymer Powders

When water is added to the dry mix mortar, the polymer powder becomes a dispersion and forms a film upon drying. This film promotes elasticity and adhesion. Redispersible polymer powders are classified into highly elastic with low adhesion, rigid with high adhesion, and medium elastic with standard adhesion. Water is added to some powders to impart hydrophobic characteristics to the material.

  • Vinyl Acetate-Ethylene Polymers (VAE) &#; These powders blend the flexibility of ethylene and the adhesion of vinyl acetate, leading to many economic and ecological benefits without affecting performance.
    They offer several benefits, including excellent cohesion, flexibility, good low-temperature film and variable glass transition temperature. They also show great adhesion to certain substrates like plastics and wood.
  • Vinyl Chloride Copolymers and Terpolymers &#; These polymer powders show great water resistance, high hydrophobicity, and excellent tensile adhesion.
  • Terpolymers based on VEOVA and VAcE &#; These polymer powders have extremely low transition temperatures. The benefits of using polymer powders based on VEOVA and VAcE include good workability, non-slump behaviour, good tensile adhesion strength, excellent crack-bridging properties, and low stickiness.

Applications

Redispersible polymer powders have numerous applications across various industries. They are widely used in:

  • Construction adhesives
  • Tile adhesives
  • Joint mortars
  • External wall putty
  • Building binders
  • Filling compositions like concrete repair joints, crack isolation membranes, and waterproofing membrane applications.

What Are Redispersible Polymer PowderRedispersible Polymer Powders (RDP)

Redispersible polymer powders are free-flowing, white powders manufactured by spray-drying polymer dispersions. When added to water, these polymer powders can disintegrate and form individual polymer dispersions again, with identical properties as the original dispersion.

Redispersible polymer powders are added to mortar to increase the flexibility and cohesiveness of mortar. This forms a continuous polymer film that helps improve water retention, enhance the bond strength of mortar, and improve the workability of dry mix mortar.

RDP Production Process

The redispersible polymer powder is a latex emulsion created by spray-drying macromolecular dispersions under particular conditions. During production, polyvinyl alcohol is added to stop the latex particles bonding together. These polymer powders are usually manufactured based on acrylic polymers, polyvinyl acetate, copolymers of vinyl acetate with vinyl versatate or with ethylene.
RDPs comprise of polymer resin, the crucial ingredient of dispersion particles and an important player for redispersible powders to function. As an additive, polymer powders act as modified resin and polymer resin.

Properties of Redispersible Polymer Powders

When water is added to the dry mix mortar, the polymer powder becomes a dispersion and forms a film upon drying. This film promotes elasticity and adhesion. Redispersible polymer powders are classified into highly elastic with low adhesion, rigid with high adhesion, and medium elastic with standard adhesion. Water is added to some powders to impart hydrophobic characteristics to the material.

  • Vinyl Acetate-Ethylene Polymers (VAE) &#; These powders blend the flexibility of ethylene and the adhesion of vinyl acetate, leading to many economic and ecological benefits without affecting performance.
    They offer several benefits, including excellent cohesion, flexibility, good low-temperature film and variable glass transition temperature. They also show great adhesion to certain substrates like plastics and wood.
  • Vinyl Chloride Copolymers and Terpolymers &#; These polymer powders show great water resistance, high hydrophobicity, and excellent tensile adhesion.
  • Terpolymers based on VEOVA and VAcE &#; These polymer powders have extremely low transition temperatures. The benefits of using polymer powders based on VEOVA and VAcE include good workability, non-slump behaviour, good tensile adhesion strength, excellent crack-bridging properties, and low stickiness.

Applications

Redispersible polymer powders have numerous applications across various industries. They are widely used in:

  • Construction adhesives
  • Tile adhesives
  • Joint mortars
  • External wall putty
  • Building binders
  • Filling compositions like concrete repair joints, crack isolation membranes, and waterproofing membrane applications.
