The Performance of Redispersible Latex Powder in Various Dry-Mix Mortar Products
(1) Tile adhesive
① Effects on fresh mortar:
Extend working hours and allow for flexible scheduling;
Enhance water retention to ensure proper hydration of the cement;
Enhanced sag resistance (special modified rubber powder)
Improved workability (easy application on the substrate and easy pressing of tiles into the adhesive).
② Effect on hardened mortar:
It exhibits excellent adhesion to a wide range of substrates, including concrete, plaster, wood, existing tiles, and PVC.
It demonstrates excellent adaptability across a wide range of climatic conditions.
(2) Self-leveling:
① Effects on fresh mortar:
Assist in improving fluidity;
Enhance cohesion and reduce delamination;
Reduce bubble formation;
Improve surface smoothness;
Avoid early cracking.
② Effect on hardened mortar:
Enhance the crack resistance of self-leveling compounds;
Enhance the flexural strength of self-leveling compounds;
Significantly enhances the wear resistance of self-leveling compounds;
Significantly increases the bond strength of self-leveling compounds.
(3) Putty:
① The effect on fresh mortar;
Improve constructability;
Additional water retention enhances hydration;
Increase workability;
Avoid early cracking.
② Effect on hardened mortar:
Reduce the elastic modulus of the mortar to enhance its compatibility with the substrate;
Enhances flexibility and crack resistance;
Enhance resistance to powder shedding;
Hydrophobicity or reduced water absorption;
Enhance adhesion to the substrate.
(4) Waterproof Mortar
① Effects on fresh mortar:
Improve constructability
Additional water retention to enhance cement hydration;
Increase workability;
② Effect on hardened mortar:
Reduce the elastic modulus of the mortar to enhance its compatibility with the substrate;
Enhance flexibility, crack resistance, or bridging capability;
Increase the compactness of the mortar;
Hydrophobicity;
Increase adhesion.
