Application Details

VINNACEL® 101 is highly recommended for basic tile adhesive applications which require good workability and high strength. Also it is recommended to be used in basic interior skim coat applications.

Processing

For the production of ready-mixed dry mortars, example tile adhesives, blend VINNACEL 101 with the other dry ingredients in appropriate equipment. During mixing temperatures should not be allowed to rise excessively because otherwise the product could agglomerate by virtue of its thermoplastic properties. The mortar is prepared for use by adding the recommended amount of water and mixing mechanically or by hand.

Properties
  • VINNACEL® 101 is a polymeric modifier and is dispersible in water.
  • The product contains fine mineral filler as an antiblocking agent. It is produced without the addition of organic solvents, plasticizers and film forming agents.
  • Mortars modified with VINNACEL® 101 exhibit improved early tensile adhesion strength and high adhesion strength after standard storage conditions.
  • The addition of VINNACEL® 101 improves the workability and the handling properties of the mortar. The product ideal for use directly in combination with mineral filler and cement.
  • VINNACEL® 101 simplifies the production process and logistics of dry-mix mortar manufacturing.
  • VINNACEL® 101 replaces several different additives and components in dry-mix mortars. Simply VINNACEL combination with mineral filler and cement is needed.
  • VINNACEL® 101 is suited to prepare mortars with high cohesion and tensile adhesion strength and provides bond strength to both, inorganic and organic substrates.
  • In addition mortars containing VINNACEL® 101 show prolonged open time and easier workability.
  • Furthermore VINNACEL® 101 helps to optimize the inorganic binder content of mortars.
