Application Details

For the production of ready-mixed dry mortars, such as adhesives and patching compounds, blend VINNAPAS® 4016 N with the other dry ingredients in appropriate equipment. Temperatures should not be allowed to rise excessively during mixing because otherwise the dispersible polymer powder 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. Since hand mixing generates little shear force, we recommend allowing the fresh mortar to slake for 5 minutes and then stirring it again. This is usually unnecessary where mechanical mixers are employed.

Properties

• VINNAPAS® 4016 N is a copolymer powder of vinyl acetate and ethylene and is dispersible in water.
• Compounds modified with VINNAPAS® 4016 N exhibit improved adhesion, flexural strength, deformability, abrasion resistance and easier handling. Leveling, thixotropy and water retention are essentially unaffected.
• The product is ideal for use in combination with other mortar additives intended to enhance specific properties.
• VINNAPAS® 4016 N contains a fine mineral filler as an anti-blocking agent.
• It is produced without the addition of organic solvents, plasticizers and film-forming agents.
• VINNAPAS® 4016 N is a hard general-purpose powder and has no effect on rheological properties. It is eminently suitable for formulating compounds of high ultimate strength.

Storage & Handling

Storage Information

During storage, protect the product from contact with moisture. Prolonged storage at temperatures above 30°C, especially in combination with pressure, humidity or exposure to sunlight, may result in blocking. Carefully seal any open containers and store them under suitable conditions. We recommend storing the product in a warehouse that provides cool and dry conditions. Do not store the product for more than six months, starting from the date at which it was received.
