In tropical regions, construction materials often face the challenges of high temperatures and humidity. Therefore, enhancing the performance of these materials is crucial. Adding Redispersible Polymer Powder to construction mortars, concrete, and other materials can effectively improve their performance. Mikavae RDP, utilizing advanced manufacturing techniques and stringent quality control practices, ensures that its RDP products maintain exceptional performance even in the most challenging environmental conditions.

In the realm of construction materials, adhesive mortars play a crucial role in ensuring the durability and longevity of structures. One key ingredient that has revolutionized the adhesive mortar industry is MikaVAE™ redispersible polymer powder (RPP/RDP). This remarkable additive has gained significant popularity due to its versatility, enhancing the overall performance of adhesive mortars. In this blog post, we will delve into the world of MikaVAE™ Redispersible Polymer Powder, exploring its composition, benefits, and diverse applications in the construction industry.

The tiling process has been around for centuries, and it has served us well. But as technology evolves, so too must our methods of tiling. Traditional tiling methods can be limited in terms of adhesion strength, shrinkage resistance, and water absorption—but that doesn’t mean those shortcomings can’t be overcome. In fact, redispersible polymer powder (RPP/RDP/RDP) is the perfect way to improve the physical and mechanical properties of cementitious tile adhesive (CTA). Read on to learn more about how RPP/RDP blends with other cementitious components to create a superior CTA.

If you’re in the building materials industry, there’s a good chance you’ve encountered hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. This water-soluble nonionic cellulosic polymer is used for a variety of purposes and has become increasingly popular in recent years. Let’s take a closer look at what hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is and how it can help with building materials.

Whether you’re a contractor, engineer, or a DIY enthusiast, you need to know about Redispersible Polymer Powder (or RDP/RPP), which is one of the most important binders used in cement-based and gypsum-based dry powder materials. This type of powder is created by spray-drying polymer emulsions and has the same properties as the original emulsion—namely; it forms a film after water evaporation that is known for its toughness, weather resistance, and adhesion to a substrate. Let’s take a closer look at how this key ingredient helps make mortar waterproof.
