Ashland Inc has expanded its family of Aquapas redispersible polymer powders (RDP) to include Aquapas M Series RDP, Aquapas T Series RDP, Aquapas HS-2098 RDP and Styrene-Acrylic based Aquapas N7930 and Aquapas N7970 RDPs. Ashland launched its Aquapas RDP in 2011 to be used along with Culminal™ and Combizell™ cellulose ethers, and Ashland Aquatherm™ specialty water-soluble polymers to offer enhanced adhesion, performance and flexibility in dry mortars formulations. Ashland’s RDP powders are used in a variety of cement-based construction applications, such as cementitious tile adhesives, external insulation and finishing systems (EIFS), renders and stuccos, external and internal skimcoat, and repair mortar.
 
“This is another example of Ashland ingenuity. When combined with our line of cellulose-ether products, Aquapas RDP increases the overall effectiveness of dry mortars, reducing costs and improving the final quality of construction projects,” said Sandeep Rath, Global Marketing Manager, Ashland Specialty Ingredients.
 
Ashland offers a broad portfolio of cellulose ethers and RDPs, along with other additives such as starch ethers, defoamers, air-entraining agents, acrylates and biocides as complete solutions for premium construction application needs.
