VINNAPAS® 5046 T

1 of 218 products in this brand
VINNAPAS® 5046 T is a dispersible polymer powder for dry mix mortars, specifically suited for thixotropic tile adhesives, repair mortars, troweling compounds, and ETICS. It is based on a flexible copolymer of vinyl acetate and ethylene. VINNAPAS® 5046 T belongs to the product class VINNAPAS® T, which means that it provides thixotropic properties. In addition to strong non-slump properties, it offers excellent workability.

Application Details

Processing

For the production of ready-mixed dry mortars, such as adhesives and patching compounds, blend VINNAPAS® 5046 T 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® 5046 T is a copolymer powder of vinyl acetate and ethylene and is dispersible in water.
  • Compounds modified with VINNAPAS® 5046 T exhibit improved adhesion, flexural strength, deformability and abrasion resistance. They also exhibit good non-sag properties and are easier to blend.
  • VINNAPAS® 5046 T contains a fine mineral filler as an antiblocking agent. It is produced without the use of organic solvents, plasticizers and film-forming agents.
  • VINNAPAS® 5046 T is a highly non-slump dispersible polymer powder in the lower Tg range. It is suitable for formulating low emission compounds that must be highly flexible and exhibit very good non-slump properties.
