Rheology & Viscosity Control

A mortar that won’t flex is a mortar that’s already planning to crack.

The specifier's challenge (what problem is solved)

Dry-mix mortars need to flow, bond and stay flexible at the same time — mixes with poor film formation lose adhesion, crack under substrate movement, or resist water and abrasion poorly.

How it works
(technical mechanism)

Redispersible VAE and acrylic copolymer powders redisperse in the mix water and form a continuous polymer film around the cement particles as it cures — improving flow, adhesion, flexibility, and resistance to water, abrasion and chemicals.

Main applications

Ceramic & porcelain tile adhesive, glass mosaic, large-format tile, decorative renders, base coats, repair mortars, gypsum-based mortars, self-leveling mortars, fill mortars, facade renders, pool/waterproofing mortars

Supporting data or statistics

Minimum film-forming temperature (MFFT) as low as 0C, ensuring proper film formation and flexibility even in cool site conditions

Applicable norm/standard

ASTM C270 for masonry mortars incorporating these admixtures
