In modern dry-mix construction materials, bonding strength is one of the most critical performance indicators. Tile adhesives and cement-based mortars must maintain strong adhesion under load, moisture, temperature changes, and long-term use. RDP Redispersible Polymer Powder plays a key role in achieving this performance. Kingmax RDP is engineered to deliver strong bonding, improved flexibility, and long-lasting durability for professional-grade tile adhesive and mortar systems.
What Is RDP and Why It Matters
RDP is a free-flowing polymer powder obtained by spray-drying polymer emulsions. When mixed with water, it redistributes evenly to form a continuous polymer film inside the cement matrix.
This polymer film:
-
Enhances adhesion between mortar and substrate
-
Improves internal cohesion of the mortar
-
Increases flexibility and crack resistance
-
Boosts durability under wet and dry conditions
Strong Bonding Performance in Tile Adhesives
Tile adhesive requires high initial and long-term bonding strength, especially for ceramic and porcelain tiles.
Kingmax RDP improves tile adhesive performance by:
✔ Enhancing wet adhesion during tile placement
✔ Increasing tensile adhesion strength after curing
✔ Improving adhesion on low-absorption tiles
✔ Reducing tile slippage on vertical surfaces
These advantages help meet industry standards such as EN 12004 for high-performance tile adhesives.
Improved Mortar Performance and Durability
In cement-based mortars, Kingmax RDP contributes to:
-
Better particle-to-particle bonding
-
Increased flexibility under stress
-
Reduced shrinkage and cracking
-
Higher resistance to impact and vibration
This makes RDP especially effective in repair mortars, plastering mortars, and insulation system basecoats.
Synergy with Cellulose Ethers
When combined with HPMC or MHEC, Kingmax RDP delivers optimal performance:
-
HPMC provides water retention and workability
-
RDP adds flexibility and bonding strength
Together, they create a balanced system with superior application properties and long-term durability.
Applications of Kingmax RDP
Kingmax RDP is widely used in:
-
Tile adhesive and tile grout
-
Cement and gypsum mortars
-
EIFS / ETICS systems
-
Wall putty and skim coat
-
Repair and waterproof mortars
It performs reliably across interior and exterior applications.
