Properties
• VINNAPAS® 8034 H is a hydrophobic, terpolymer powder of ethylene, vinyl laurate and vinyl chloride.
• It is dispersible in water. VINNAPAS® 8034 H performs as binder and hydrophobizing agent.
• When blended with inorganic binders, the resin will provide improved adhesion, flexural strength, deformability and abrasion resistance and are easier to process.
• Due to the hydrophobizing resin's special composition and production method, compounds modified with VINNAPAS® 8034 H will have extensive and lasting water repellency on alkaline building materials and significantly reduced water absorption.
• VINNAPAS® 8034 H contains a fine mineral filler as an antiblocking agent. It is produced without the use of organic solvents, plasticizers and film-forming agents.
• VINNAPAS® 8034 H is highly hydrophobizing, has no effect on rheological properties and is a hydrophobizing powder in the lower Tg range. It is suitable for formulating compounds that must exhibit good very good water repellency.
Optimum water repellency is obtained at a pH > 7.5.

Processing
For the production of ready-mixed dry mortars, such as adhesives and patching compounds, blend VINNAPAS® 8034 H 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.

Storage
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, unless the Certificate of Analysis contains a different date, which would take precedence. If the product is stored longer than recommended, it may still be used but users are advised to verify the properties required for the intended use .
