FAQ on VAE(RDP)Applications in Construction

FAQ: Applications of VAE-RDP in Construction

1. What is VAE-RDP and how is it used in construction?
VAE-RDP is a redispersible polymer powder made from a vinyl acetate and ethylene copolymer. It is commonly used in construction materials such as tile adhesives, plasters, and dry-mix mortars to enhance flexibility, adhesion, and water resistance.

2. What are the benefits of using VAE-RDP in construction materials?
Using VAE-RDP improves the performance of construction materials by:

• Enhancing adhesion to various substrates.

• Increasing flexibility, which helps prevent cracking.

• Improving water resistance and reducing water absorption.

• Enhancing workability and ease of application.

3. Can VAE-RDP be used in both interior and exterior applications?
Yes, VAE-RDP is suitable for both interior and exterior applications. Its properties make it ideal for use in environments exposed to moisture and varying temperatures.

4. How does VAE-RDP affect the drying time of construction materials?
VAE-RDP can slightly extend the drying time of materials, allowing for better workability. However, the final drying time depends on environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity.

5. Is VAE-RDP environmentally friendly?
VAE-RDP is designed to meet various environmental standards, and its use can contribute to lower VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions in construction materials.
