What Is Redispersible Polymer Powder (RDP)?

Redispersible Polymer Powder (RDP) is a free-flowing, white powder made by spray-drying special polymer emulsions. When mixed with water, the powder redisperses back into a stable polymer emulsion, giving it excellent bonding and performance-enhancing properties. RDP is a key additive widely used in dry-mix mortar formulations and various construction materials.

How RDP Works

RDP consists of polymer particles that, once mixed with water, reconnect and form a flexible, continuous polymer film.
This film significantly improves:

  • Adhesion to different surfaces

  • Flexibility and crack resistance

  • Workability of the mortar

  • Durability and weather resistance

MFFT 0–15°C (depending on grade)
Tg -10°C to +15°C
Particle Size (D50) 80–120 μm


Applications of Redispersible Polymer Powder

RDP is essential in many dry-mix mortar industries, including:

1. Tile Adhesives & Grouts

  • Strong bonding to tiles and substrates

  • Improved slip resistance and flexibility

  • Better water retention and long-term adhesion

2. Wall Putty & Skim Coats

  • Smooth application

  • Crack resistance

  • Enhanced surface strength

3. External & Internal Wall Renders

  • Excellent flexibility to reduce cracking

  • Strong adhesion

  • Better weather and freeze-thaw resistance

4. Self-Leveling Compounds

  • Good flowability

  • High tensile & flexural strength

5. Waterproofing Mortars

  • Improves impermeability

  • Increases elasticity and bonding

6. Repair Mortars

  • Enhances adhesion to old concrete

  • Provides good strength and durability

Advantages of Using RDP in Dry Mix Mortars

  • Increased adhesion strength

  • Better flexibility & deformability

  • Improved water retention

  • Enhanced abrasion resistance

  • Shrinkage reduction & crack prevention

  • Better freeze–thaw stability

  • Improved workability and application properties

RDP is a versatile and highly effective material for improving the performance of modern construction mixes.
