Redispersible Powder Polymers
Redispersible powder polymers from Celanese (Elotex) are organic polymer powders manufactured by spray drying liquid latex emulsions.In combination with other additives such as Bermocoll cellulose ethers, Celanese (Elotex) powder polymers improve the properties of cement or gypsum based dry mixed products.
Celanese (Elotex) redispersible powder polymers provide the performance benefits of liquid latex in terms of improved adhesion and flexibility along with the convenience of handling and storage benefits associated with one component dry mixed products.
Advantages in end use applications include:
- Improved workability
- Increased adhesion to variety of substrates
- Higher flexural strength and flexiblity
- Higher resistance to freeze/thaw attack
- Improved surface hardness and abrasion resistance
Celanese (Elotex) redispersible powders are key ingredients improving the properties of mortars used in: Tile and building adhesives – levelling compounds – gap fillers – repair mortars – rendering products – waterproofing systems – thermal insulation composite systems.
