In finishing works, skim coat plays a critical role in delivering smooth, level, and durable wall surfaces. However, traditional skim coat formulations often face challenges such as poor adhesion, cracking, and limited durability. By incorporating Redispersible Polymer Powder (RDP), Kingmax helps manufacturers and builders achieve flawless finishes with long-lasting performance.
1. Why Skim Coats Need RDP
Cement-based skim coats can shrink and crack as they dry, leading to uneven surfaces and weak adhesion. Kingmax RDP addresses these issues by:
-
Enhancing Adhesion: Provides stronger bonding to diverse substrates, including concrete and plaster.
-
Improving Flexibility: Reduces brittleness, preventing cracks caused by shrinkage or thermal movement.
-
Increasing Durability: Ensures long-lasting, stable surfaces resistant to wear and impact.
-
Better Workability: Delivers smoother application and easier troweling for professionals.
This makes RDP a key performance enhancer for modern skim coat formulations.
2. How Kingmax RDP Works in Skim Coat
RDP is produced by spray-drying water-based polymers into a fine powder that redisperse easily in water. When added to skim coats:
-
It forms a polymer film within the cement matrix.
-
This film improves cohesion and bonding strength.
-
It increases resistance to cracking and enhances surface durability.
The result is a skim coat that delivers both beauty and strength.
3. Advantages for Skim Coat Applications
With Kingmax RDP, skim coats achieve:
-
Smooth and flawless finishes, ready for painting or wallpapering.
-
Crack-free surfaces, even in thin applications.
-
Improved resistance to abrasion and impact, ensuring durability.
-
Enhanced bonding on difficult substrates, including old surfaces.
Builders and applicators experience easier application, reduced rework, and more reliable results.
