Introduction

VAE powder is a water-redispersible vinyl acetate/ethylene copolymer powder that is readily dispersible in water and forms stable emulsion. This redispersible powder is especially recommended for blending with inorganic binders such as cement, gypsum and hydrated lime, or as a sole binder for the manufacture of construction adhesives, wall surfacers and plasters.


Applications

NP-1100 improves adhesion, flexural strength, plasticity, abrasion resistance and workability of modified compounds such as construction adhesives, trowelling compounds and finishing plasters. It is therefore compatible with mortar additives used to achieve special processing characteristics. NP-1200 contains a fine, mineral filler as antiblocking agent. It is free of solvents, plasticizers and film-forming aids.


Recommended Uses

Tile adhesives

For thin-bed tile adhesives with good frost resistance, we recommend using 1~5% NP-1100 and about 0.2 - 0.6 % of cellulose
