A free-flowing white powder obtained by spray drying of an aqueous vinyl acetateethylene (VAE) copolymer dispersion. DLP 2300 was developed for cement-based ETICS adhesive and basecoat formulations. In drymix mortars it provides adhesion to critical substrates like EPS and ensures flexibility and inpact resistance of the mortar. It offers the advantages of a powder additive, such as ease to transport, storage and handling and low VOC helps meeting EMICODE requirements.
