The Past and Present Life of Redispersible Latex Powder and Ceramic Tile Adhesive

Adhesive materials (such as high molecular polymers) are wetted on the surface of the tiles, and a wetting state is formed between the two, so that the molecular distance between the two is very small, and finally a huge intermolecular force is formed at the bonding interface, which will bond The materials are closely integrated with the tiles. With the advancement of tile technology, more and more dense tiles are difficult to provide more gaps for mechanical interlocking to form anchors. Intermolecular force bonding is becoming more and more important. Redispersible polymer powder (RDP) forms a polymer network in the mortar product, and connects the tiles and the mortar through intermolecular forces. Even if the tiles are dense, they can be firmly attached to the mortar.

Redispersible Latex Powder can improve the performance of mortar, increase its strength, enhance the bonding strength between mortar and various substrates, enhance the flexibility and variability, compressive strength, flexural strength, wear resistance, toughness, adhesion and water retention capacity, and constructability of mortar. In addition, latex powder with hydrophobicity can make the mortar have good waterproof properties.
