REVACRYL AE 4522 K is a specially modified aqueous dispersion of a styrene-acrylic ester copolymer, formulated without film-forming aids, solvents, or plasticizers. It is designed around the demands of waterproofing, priming, and tile adhesive applications where adhesion under wet conditions is non-negotiable.

The polymer is chemically engineered to bond to mineral substrates, maintaining adhesion even in moist or submerged conditions. It forms a clear, tack-free film with good resistance to light, ageing, and alkali. Its high filler loading capacity and compatibility with conventional pigments and fillers give formulators broad latitude in product design, including cement-free, ready-to-use tile adhesives.

For manufacturers in the tile adhesive and waterproofing segment, REVACRYL AE 4522 K offers a technically proven base that supports compliance with standards such as DIN 18156. Its modification chemistry — aimed specifically at wet adhesion — makes it a differentiated option compared to standard acrylic dispersions in markets where product performance under water exposure is a competitive factor.

REVACRYL R 8300 AF is an APEO-free, high-solids styrene acrylic dispersion engineered for applications that demand both flexibility and water resistance. The polymer also exhibits reliable compatibility with cement, broadening its utility across construction chemical formulations.

This polymer enables high elongation and sustained flexibility even at low temperatures, which is especially valuable for waterproofing membranes and joint-filling compounds exposed to thermal cycling or movement. Its cement compatibility makes it straightforward to integrate into admixture formulations without compromising system stability.

REVACRYL R 8300 AF occupies a useful position for formulators who need a single polymer that can serve across waterproofing, jointing, and cement admixture applications. Its APEO-free status aligns with current market expectations for environmentally considered construction materials.

REVACRYL R 472 M AF is a high-solids styrene acrylic polymer dispersion formulated without APEO surfactants or formaldehyde-releasing biocides. It delivers a film that combines flexibility with water resistance, meeting both performance and environmental expectations in construction applications.

This dispersion is designed for cement-based systems where flexibility is a priority. It provides strong adhesion across a wide range of concrete surfaces and offers excellent binding capacity for cement, pigments, and fillers. Formulators working on surface patching compounds or cement admixtures will find it well suited to demanding substrate conditions.

REVACRYL R 472 M AF addresses growing formulation requirements around safer raw materials. Its freedom from APEO surfactants and formaldehyde-based biocides supports the development of more sustainable construction product lines without compromising on adhesion or film performance.

AXILAT UP 460S is a hydrophobic, vinyl acetate-based core-shell terpolymer supplied as a free-flowing redispersible powder. It is manufactured without organic solvents, plasticizers, or film-forming aids, making it a clean-label choice for dry mortar systems.

When incorporated into dry mortar formulations, this polymer improves workability during mixing, enhances adhesion to standard construction substrates, and strengthens key mechanical properties including flexibility and cohesion. Its core-shell architecture delivers consistent performance across a broad application temperature range, including cooler site conditions.

For formulators seeking compliance with demanding indoor air quality standards, AXILAT UP 460S is engineered to support EMICODE EC1+ classification. Its very high alkaline resistance makes it a reliable polymer choice where long-term durability in cementitious environments is a critical requirement.

AXILAT™ HP 8513 is a vinyl acetate, vinyl versatate copolymer resin in redispersible powder form.

AXILAT™ 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 176 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.

PLEXTOL R 4166 is suitable for sports surfaces (tennis court dressing and running tracks topcoat) and exterior paint with good colour retention and moderate dirt pick-up resistance.
