Under the spread of the new crown epidemic, after Americans experienced life and death, they set off the largest “resignation wave” in history, and the number of resignations broke the highest record since statistics began in 2000. Since April this year, more than 4 million people in the United States have voluntarily resigned each month. In August, the number of resignations exceeded 4.27 million, and in November, it rose to 4.4 million. The operation of society is linked. The large number of departures in the United States has led to a large shortage of labor; and the shortage of a large number of labor has directly led to the supply chain crisis in the United States; the supply chain crisis has directly affected prices and prices in the United States. The economy has a direct effect on people’s lives.
The economic downturn will affect the market demand for Redispersible Emulsion Polymer Powder.
What is Redispersible Emulsion Polymer Powder ?
Redispersible Emulsion Polymer Powder products are water-soluble redispersible powders, which are divided into ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymers, vinyl acetate/tertiary ethylene carbonate copolymers, acrylic copolymers, etc. agent, with polyvinyl alcohol as protective colloid. This powder can be quickly redispersed into an emulsion after contacting with water. Due to the high binding ability and unique properties of redispersible polymer powders, such as: water resistance, construction and heat insulation, etc., their The range of applications is extremely broad.
Application of Redispersible Emulsion Polymer Powder
Redispersible latex powder is an indispensable and important functional additive for mixed mortar. It can improve the performance of mortar, increase the strength of mortar, improve the bonding strength of mortar and various substrates, and improve the flexibility and deformability of mortar. , compressive strength, flexural strength, abrasion resistance, toughness, adhesion and water retention capacity, and constructability. In addition, the latex powder with hydrophobicity can make the mortar have good water resistance.
Masonry mortar, plastering mortar
Redispersible latex powder has good impermeability, water retention, frost resistance, and high bonding strength, which can effectively solve the quality problems such as cracking and penetration between traditional masonry mortars.
Self-leveling mortar, floor materials
Redispersible polymer powders have high strength, good cohesion/cohesion and required flexibility. It can improve the adhesion, wear resistance and water retention of the materials. It can bring excellent rheology, workability and best self-smoothing properties to ground self-leveling mortar and leveling mortar.
waterproof mortar
Redispersible latex powder enhances bonding strength to all substrates, reduces elastic modulus, increases water retention, and reduces water penetration, providing products with high flexibility, high weather resistance and high water resistance requirements. Long-lasting effect of the sealing system and waterproof requirements.
External thermal insulation mortar
Redispersible latex powder enhances the cohesion of the mortar and the bonding force to the thermal insulation board in the external wall thermal insulation system, which can reduce energy consumption while seeking thermal insulation for you. The required workability, flexural strength and flexibility can be achieved in the external wall and external thermal insulation mortar products, so that your mortar products can have good bonding performance with a series of thermal insulation materials and base layers. At the same time, it also helps to improve impact resistance and surface crack resistance.
interface mortar
Redispersible latex powder is mainly used to treat the surfaces of concrete, air-entrained concrete, lime-sand bricks and fly ash bricks, etc., to solve the problem that the interface is not easy to bond, the plastering layer is hollow, cracked, etc. due to excessive water absorption or smoothness of these surfaces. peeling, etc. It enhances the bonding force, is not easy to fall off and is resistant to water, and has excellent freeze-thaw resistance, which has a significant effect on simple operation and convenient construction.
Properties of Redispersible Emulsion Polymer Powder
Redispersible latex powder is a powder formed by spray drying of polymer emulsion, also known as dry powder glue. This powder can be quickly reduced to an emulsion after contact with water, and maintain the same properties as the initial emulsion, that is, a film will be formed after the water evaporates. This film has high flexibility, high weather resistance and resistance to various substrates.
Such products are mainly used in external wall insulation, tile bonding, interface treatment, bonding gypsum, plastering gypsum, building interior and exterior wall putty, decorative mortar and other construction fields, and have a very broad scope of use and good market prospects.
The promotion and application of redispersible latex powder has greatly improved the performance of traditional building materials, greatly improved the adhesion, cohesion, flexural strength, impact resistance, wear resistance, durability, etc. The construction products ensure the quality of construction projects with their excellent quality and high-tech content.
Because of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, there is a shortage of natural gas supply. At the same time, other renewable energy sources cannot produce enough electricity, so electricity prices have soared in many countries of the world. For this reason, I assume the supply and prices of the Redispersible Emulsion Polymer Powder would keep being influenced by the high energy prices.
