Whether used as standalone additives or in combination with one another, Gomez chemical Redispersible Polymer Powders (RDP) and Specialty Additives offer a powerful toolkit for the modification of dry mix mortar formulations for the construction industry.

Gomez Chemical specialty additives in powder form offer unique improvements, such as improved water and stain resistance, superior water repellency, reduced efflorescence, enhanced workability and optimized leveling properties using these additives.

To meet today’s technical requirements; almost all dry mix mortars require polymer modification. Many cementitious mortars contain cellulose ethers as an additive to improve water retention and workability. However after setting and drying they will adhere poorly. In addition cementitious mortars are very hard, brittle and inflexible materials, whereas for many applications flexible and deformable cementitious materials are essential. As a consequence for almost all applications in modern construction, the modification of cementitious mortars with polymers is a must.
