Redispersible latex powders from Dow Construction Chemicals are organic polymer powders obtained through the spray-drying of aqueous emulsions. In combination with cellulose ethers and othe additives, DOW™ Latex Powders and DRYCR) help improve the properties and performan based dry-mix products, Redispersible latex powders combine the performance benefits of liquid latex modifiers withthe convenience, reliability and handling/ storage advantages of one-component drynx systems. Advantages for end-use products include: sment-or gypsum ter retention and open time ‘© Better strength davelopment of the morta ‘© Improved workability adhesion to © Increased ‘© Improved wetting ofthe substrate ‘© Highor flexural strength and flexibility ‘© Increased impact and abrasion resistal © Freeze/thaw resistance ‘© Higher and more durable product quality (contributing to reduced job sit failure) Dow Construction ChemicalsProcess and Chemistry ‘The redispersible latex powder development process involves three key steps: 1. Polymerization of dispersions that are specifically designed for redispersible powder production — provides optimal application properties 2. Selection of appropriate protective colloid system to be added to liquid dispersion prior to the spray-drying process ~ provides optimal radispersbility 3. Selection ot appropriate quartity and quality of anti-caking agents to be added during spray-drying — provides optimal storage stability AA simplified model of the product development process is shown in Figure 1.

Particle size distribution of the redispersion is a measure ofthe redispersibilty —and is one of the mast important properties ofa redispersible polymer powder. As illustrated in Figure 2, small-diameter powder particles will contribute to more uniform redispersions with less clumping than large-diameter particles.
