Introduction
ELOTEX 80W is a flexible redispersible polymer powder based on a copolymer of vinyl acetate and ethylene. It acts as an organic binder to enhance the adhesion ability,cohesion,and workability of corresponding building materials,such as ready-mix dry mortars.ELOTEX® 80W is a flexible product with high ethylene content and neutral rheology, especially suitable for formulating mortar coats with good adhesion and impact resistance on polystyrene substrates,while also offering improved deformability and flexural strength.ELOTEXO 80W shows low emission levels of volatile organic compounds(VOC), allowing manufacturers to formulate finished products in accordance with eco-labelling requirements,such as EMICODE.
Applications
ETICS (adhesive mortar, base coat); plasters(top coats(skim coats));tile adhesives(C1,ISO 13007);tile grouts(CG1,ISO 13007);repair mortar (non-structural).For any additional applications please contact your local consultant.
Storage
Store ELOTEX powder in a cool，dry place in original packaging at temperatures not exceeding 25 ℃ and process within six months after the date of delivery. Avoid storing ELOTEX powder under pressure,in damaged sacks,in contact with moisture or heat, or in sacks left open for an extended period, as this may result in blocking of the powder. If the product is stored for longer than six months after the date of delivery, users are advised to evaluate properties required for the intended use.
Packaging and transport
Standard packaging: 25 kg paper sacks with polyethylene liners. Other types of packaging, such as Big Bags or delivery in silo wagons,are available on request.
Safety and handling
ELOTEX redispersible powders are not classified as hazardous. However, we recommend all individuals using ELOTEXO redispersible powder, or coming in contact with it, to observe the separate Safety Data Sheets. Our safety specialists will be pleased to advise you on the safety, health and environmental issues relating to our products. Powder processing:ELOTEX redispersible powders can be blended in all commercial mixers with other dry additives to produce finished products in powder form. Since ELOTEX redispersible powders exhibit thermoplastic behaviour,mixing times should be as short as possible,and significant temperature increases caused by strong shear forces should be avoided. All hydraulically and non-hydraulically curing dry mixtures canbe easily combined with ELOTEX redispersible powder and subsequently mixed with water before application.
