VINNAPAS® eco 8118 E

1 of 17 products in this brand
VINNAPAS® eco 8118 E is a versatile dispersible polymer powder designed for dry mix mortars, particularly suitable for tile adhesives. This product is based on a flexible terpolymer of vinyl acetate, ethylene, and vinyl chloride, belonging to the VINNAPAS® E product class. As a member of this class, it has a neutral impact on rheology and offers extended open time, along with very high adhesion after water immersion and heat storage. These properties provide a high level of formulation flexibility.

Application Details

For the production of ready-mixed dry mortars, such as adhesives and patching compounds, blend VINNAPAS® eco 8118 E 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.

Properties
  • VINNAPAS® eco 8118 E is a dispersible terpolymer powder composed of vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride and ethylene.
  • Dry-mix mortars modified with VINNAPAS® eco 8118 E exhibit improved adhesion, flexural strength, deformability and abrasion resistance.
  • VINNAPAS® eco 8118 E is particularly suited for modifying cementitious and gypsum-based dry-mix mortars, especially tile adhesives.
  • VINNAPAS® eco 8118 E contains a fine mineral filler as an antiblocking agent. It is produced without the use of organic solvents, plasticizers and film-forming agents.
  • VINNAPAS® eco 8118 E is suitable for formulating high-quality, low-emissions flexible tile adhesives. It provides long open time and very good tensile adhesion strength, especially after immersion in water and heat aging.

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.
