Vinyl acetate and ethylene are copolymerised in an emulsion process to produce a VAE composition with an ethylene content of 10% to 40% in the copolymer in the first instance. Ethylene is a soft, hydrophobic monomeric unit in the copolymer that acts as the internal “plasticising” part. In the copolymer, ethylene effectively lowers the glass […]

Applications for VAE-RDP include the formulation of building materials such as tile adhesives, grouting, finishing plasters, smoothing compounds, thin mortars and sealing pastes. The amount of VAE-RDP added to cement and mortar is approximately 2-10%, depending on the desired increase in strength, impact resistance, adhesion and water resistance of the compound. For wall tile adhesive […]
