Versatic™ Monomers for Redispersible Powders

The most popular latices used to make redispersible powders (RDPs) are based on vinyl acetate/VeoVa™ 10 copolymer, vinyl acetate/ethylene copolymer and vinyl acetate/ethylene/VeoVa 10 terpolymer. VeoVa monomers provide specific properties to RDPs such as very high hydrophobicity and higher resistance to alkali.

Key benefits of VeoVa monomer-based RDPs vary by application:

• Ceramic tile adhesives – Improved adhesion with superior workability and open time
• EIFS*– Wet/dry adhesion, reduced water absorption
• Roof coatings – High water resistance and elongation
