RDP (Redispersible Emulsion Powder)

Re-dispersible Polymer Powder (RDP)

Redispersible Polymer Powder, also called RDP or VAE RDP, is a free-flowing and water-soluble white powder.

Physical And Chemical Propertices

Re-dispersible Polymer Powder (RDP)

ØComposition 

Including: polymerized resin, additive, protective colloid,  anti-caking

a. Resinous polymer—Main ingredient for RDP to function and it is located in the core of the emulsion powder granule.

b. Additive(interior)—Modified resin, (Plasticizer for reducing the film-forming temperature of resin). Not every emulsion powder has added.

c. Additive(exterior)—Additional materials to further extend the performance of RDP. Not every emulsion powder has added.

d. Protective colloid—A layer of hydrophilic material wrapped around the surface of the RDP granule.  Protective colloid : polyvinyl alcohol.

e. Anti-caking  —Fine particle filler, convenient flow of emulsion powder. (Dumped from paper bag or tanker)

ØProduction process

  It is mainly divided into two steps

  First step: Production of polymer emulsion by emulsion polymerisation

  Second step : Mixtures prepared from polymer emulsion spray drying to obtain polymer powders.

ØVariety

  The main application of RDP in the market :

 Vinyl acetate/Ethylene copolymer emulsion powder

 Ethylene/Chloride/ Vinyl laurate ternary copolymer emulsion powder

 Vinyl acetate/Ethylene and Higher fatty acid vinyl ester ternary copolymer latex powder

 Vinyl acetate/Higher fatty acid vinyl copolymer latex powder

    Acrylic acetate/Styrene copolymer latex powder

    Vinyl acetate/Acrylic acetate and high fatty acid vinyl ester ternary copolymer latex powder

    Vinyl acetate homopolymerised latex powder

    Binary co-polymer emulsion powder and Ternary co-polymer emulsion powder.


Vinyl acetate and vinyl co-polymer resin remain the best technical solution, from the technical experience of polymer applied to mortar modification

because: Vinyl acetate and vinyl co-polymer resin are one of the most used polymer in the world.

Double Bulls RDP’s Advantage: 

– Supply excellent flexibility                    – Improved workability
– High bond strength                        – Reduce water absorption 
– great durability and abrasion resistance       – Excellent rheology 
– Increase adhesive/cohesive strength            – Higher flexural strength 
– Improved water retention capability and open time


Application of RDP 

– Tile adhesive/joint filler      – Skim Coat (Putty) 
– Self-leveling mortar         – No Shrink Grout 
– Repair mortar           – Exterior wall insulation mortars


Packaging And Storage

vPerformance of RPD in mortar

1) Freshly mixed mortar

        Improve construction performance

        Improved in Flowability

        Increased thixotropy and sag resistance

        Improvement of cohesion

       Extended opening hour and water retention

 

   Effect of different types of RDP on the setting time of mortar.

Most type of RDP have a retarding effect on mortar. The addition of RDP in the mortar take benefit of extend the workable time of the mortar.

2) Hardened mortar

Improvement of mortar tensile strength

Enhanced flexural strength

Reduced modulus of elasticity

Improved deform-ability

Improved abrasion resistance 

Increase cohesion

     Decrease carbonation depth

     Material reduction water absorption and hydrophobicity.
