Features & Benefits

Product Characteristics

• Contains an effective antifoam system
• Greater resistance to hydrolysis compared to a vinyl acetate homopolymer
• Not stable to borax

As a plaster/concrete bonding agent:

• Dried film is water redispersible
• Provides permanent bonds
• Better water resistance then polyvinyl acetate latexes

As a polymer modifier for hydraulic cementitious mixtures:

• Increased adhesion to most non-plastic and non-oily surfaces
• Increased flexural and tensile strengths
• Eliminates need for wet curing
• Increases water resistance
