The role of redispersible latex powder in mortar products

1. What are the functions of redispersible latex powder in mortar?

Answer: The redispersible latex powder is molded after dispersion and acts as a second adhesive to enhance the bond; the protective colloid is absorbed by the mortar system (it will not be said to be destroyed after molded. Or dispersed twice); molded polymerization The physical resin is distributed throughout the mortar system as a reinforcing material, thereby increasing the cohesion of the mortar.

2. What are the functions of redispersible latex powder in wet mortar?

Answer: Improve construction performance; improve fluidity; increase thixotropy and sag resistance; improve cohesion; prolong open time; enhance water retention;

3. What are the functions of redispersible latex powder after the mortar is cured?

Answer: increase tensile strength; enhance bending strength; reduce elastic modulus; increase deformability; increase material density; increase wear resistance; increase cohesive strength; Has excellent hydrophobicity (adding hydrophobic rubber powder).

4. What are the functions of redispersible latex powder in different dry powder mortar products?
