Introduction to Redispersible Emulsion Powder
Redispersible Emulsion Powder (REP) is a key additive used in modern construction materials to improve performance, durability, and workability. At KIMA CHEMICAL CO., LTD, we specialize in producing high-quality Redispersible Emulsion Powder that enhances a wide range of building materials. This innovative product is widely used in applications such as tile adhesives, self-leveling compounds, repair mortars, and more.
As the construction industry continues to evolve, the demand for advanced materials that offer superior performance is growing. Redispersible Emulsion Powder has become an essential component in meeting these demands, providing flexibility, water resistance, and excellent adhesion to various surfaces.
What is Redispersible Emulsion Powder?
Redispersible Emulsion Powder is a free-flowing, white powder obtained by spray-drying a polymer emulsion. When mixed with water, it redistributes into a stable emulsion and retains the same properties as the original emulsion. This characteristic makes it a highly valuable additive in dry mix mortars.
Key Properties
- Improved Adhesion: Enhances bonding strength between various substrates.
- Water Resistance: Provides better resistance to moisture and humidity.
- Flexibility: Increases the elasticity and crack resistance of materials.
- Workability: Improves the flow and application properties of mortars.
At KIMA CHEMICAL CO., LTD, we produce Redispersible Emulsion Powder that is engineered to meet the highest industry standards, ensuring consistency and superior performance.
Applications of Redispersible Emulsion Powder in Construction
Tile Adhesives
Redispersible Emulsion Powder is a crucial ingredient in tile adhesives, enabling them to bond effectively to a variety of surfaces including concrete, plaster, and gypsum board. It enhances tensile and shear strength, making the adhesives more durable and flexible.
Self-Leveling Compounds
In self-leveling flooring compounds, Redispersible Emulsion Powder contributes to a smooth finish and improves flow characteristics. Its addition reduces surface cracks and enhances mechanical strength.
External Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS)
Redispersible Emulsion Powder is widely used in EIFS applications to improve bonding between insulation boards and base coats. It also increases the flexibility of the system, making it resistant to temperature variations and mechanical stress.
Skim Coats and Wall Putty
The incorporation of Redispersible Emulsion Powder into skim coats and wall putty formulations improves their adhesion to various surfaces, reduces shrinkage, and enhances durability.
Repair Mortars
For structural repair mortars, Redispersible Emulsion Powder offers superior bonding strength and flexibility, allowing the mortar to adapt to the movements of existing structures.

How Redispersible Emulsion Powder Works
The effectiveness of Redispersible Emulsion Powder lies in its chemical structure and ability to redisperse in water.
Formation of a Film
When added to a dry mix and applied with water, the polymer particles coalesce to form a continuous film. This film provides binding strength, water resistance, and flexibility to the final material.
Interaction with Cement and Aggregates
Redispersible Emulsion Powder interacts with the hydration process of cement, improving particle packing and reducing porosity. This results in higher density and mechanical strength.
Durability Over Time
Once cured, the film created by Redispersible Emulsion Powder remains stable over time, ensuring long-term performance and durability in construction applications.
