Elotex - Redispersible Polymer Powders (RDP) and Specialty Additives
Whether used as standalone additives or in combination with one another, Elotex® Redispersible Polymer Powders (RDP) and Specialty Additives offer a powerful toolkit for the modification of dry mix mortar formulations for the construction industry.
OVERVIEW
Elotex® redispersible polymer powders are homo and co-polymers based on vinyl acetate, ethylene, vinyl versatate and other monomers.
What is Elotex®?
Our products act as organic binders and are mostly used in combination with cement, gypsum and hydrated lime. Elotex® free-flowing polymer powders are produced by spray-drying aqueous polymer dispersions, allowing us to supply a wide range of additives with different features.
Elotex® specialty additives in powder form comprises of several technologies ranging from silane encapsulation to engineered formulated additives.
Key Elotex® Uses:
- Cement and lime based renders
- Floor levelling compounds and screeds
- Gypsum joint fillers
- Gypsum plasters
- Polymer binder applications
- Repairs
- Tile grouts
- Tile adhesives
- Waterproofing membranes
- ETICS/EIFS
Elotex® redispersible polymer powders are essential ingredients to enhance critical properties of modern dry-mix mortars such as adhesion, cohesion, flexibility and workability. Moreover, our products allow manufacturers to formulate finished products with low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions in accordance with demanding governmental regulations as well as requirements of internationally recognized environmental certifications and labels, such as LEED, EMICODE® EC1PLUS and Blue Angel.
Elotex® specialty additives in powder form offer unique improvements, such as improved water and stain resistance, superior water repellency, reduced efflorescence, enhanced workability and optimized leveling properties using these additives.
