Enabling water repellency and improved strength to cement-based drymix products
Silicone technology
Powdered silane, siloxane and silicone resin additives deliver impressive performance results to drymix products. Achieve improved aesthetics and surface protection with our easy-to-use additives, and eliminate the need for post-treatments and protective coatings. The end result will deliver:
- Improved weather resistance and UV protection
- Increased reliability in long-term performance
- Better durability in joint fillers, mortar, stucco and flooring
- Easy-to-use drymix formulations
- Water-repellent protection
- Reduced mold and mildew growth
Cellulosic technology
Cellulose ethers for drymix applications offer a wide range of benefits including:
- Rapid development of temperature
- Stable, high water-retention capabilities
- Selective consistency adjustment for easy workability
- Precise control of rheology for good workability and sag resistance
- Stabilization of air voids
- Improved substrate adhesion
Redispersible latex powder technology
DOW™ Latex Powders are redispersible polymer powders that combine the performance benefits of liquid latex modifiers with the convenience, reliability and handling/storage advantages of one-component dry systems. They offer a variety of features and benefits for mineralbound products, including:
- Improved workability
- Excellent adhesive strength on different and demanding surfaces
- Improved open time
- Hydrophobicity (water-repellent properties) and abrasion resistance
