Polymer binders and redispersible powders (RPDs) for gypsum systems

  • Enhance adhesion and cohesion
  • Improve compressive and flexural strength
  • Increase abrasion and chemical resistance
  • Improve water resistance and reduce water absorption
  • Support smooth finishes through fine polymer particle size

Develop high-performance formulations for gypsum wallboard, joint compounds, setting compounds, skim coats, plasters, stuccos, and self-levelling underlayments with Synthomer’s polymer binders and redispersible polymer powders (RDPs). Our broad portfolio helps formulators balance adhesion, cohesion, strength and application performance to deliver reliable results and high-quality finishes across gypsum-based applications.

Synthomer’s products also address the increasing demand for sustainability, with additional benefits including low volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions and PFAS-free characteristics, supporting our formulators in complying with regulations and standards for construction products.

AXILAT™ HP 8510VACOAXILAT™ HP 8510 is a vinyl acetate, vinyl versatate copolymer resin in redispersible powder form. It is a highly versatile resin with high redispersibility in water and used in dry mortars.
AXILAT™ PSB 155XSBRAXILAT™ PSB 155 is a styrene butadiene copolymer powder resin that is redispersible in water. AXILAT™  PSB 155 redisperses to a particle size that is one-tenth of conventional latex powders, resulting in a very high binding power and enhanced adhesion for end use formulations. It is highly recommended for cement- and gypsum-based applications.
AXILAT™ TP 178VACOAXILAT™ TP 178 is a vinyl acetate,ethylene copolymer resin in redispersible powder form. It is a highly versatile resin with high redispersibility in water and used in dry mortars.AXILAT™ TP 178 is free from plasticizers, film forming agents or solvents.
LIPATON™ SB 30Y160XSBRLIPATON™ SB 30Y160 is a non-ionically stabilized, hydrolysis-resistant carboxylated styrenebutadiene copolymer latex. The dispersion contains an antioxidant and an antifoam agent, which is very effective for its use in hydraulic binders. This product is free from APEOs and ammonia.
LIPATON™ SB 5843 PRCXSBRLIPATON™ SB 5843 PRC is a ready-for-use aqueous dispersion of a styrene-butadiene copolymer with high stability against electrolytes. It contains an APEO free anionic/nonionic emulsifier system and is free from film forming aids, solvents, plasticizers, and ammonia. It contains a special defoamer to reduce the air content in cement mortars.
REVACRYL™ AE 4522SAREVACRYL™ AE 4522 is a specially modified, aqueous dispersion of a styrene-acrylic ester copolymer for waterproofing and tile adhesive applications. The polymer is engineered for excellent wet adhesion. It contains an anionic emulsifier system and is free from film forming aids, solvents and plasticizers.
REVACRYL™ R 478SAREVACRYL R 478 is a styrene acrylic copolymer dispersion containing antifoam.
