• VINNAPAS® 5048 H is a copolymer powder based on vinyl acetate and ethylene and is dispersible in water.• VINNAPAS® 5048 H is a polymeric binder and also provides a strong hydrophobic effect.• Blended with inorganic binders the powder will provide very good workability with VINNAPAS® 5048 H have improvedadhesion, flexibility, deformability and abrasion resistance.• Due to the high ethylene content and therefore low glass transition temperature (Tg) this copolymer is highly flexible.• Mortars modified with VINNAPAS® 5048 H will have strong and lasting water repellency and significantly loweredwater absorption.• VINNAPAS® 5048 H will not have any effect on water-vapor transmission at common dosages.• VINNAPAS® 5048 H contains a fine mineral filler as an antiblocking agent.• VINNAPAS® 5048 H is a dispersible polymer powder with a strong hydrophobic effect in the lower Tg range. It has noeffect on rheology.• Mortars modified with VINNAPAS® 5048 H exhibit very good workability and attain high strength when cured.• Additionally VINNAPAS® 5048 H provides strong hydrophobicity within the hardened mortar. It is especially suitablefor adhesive mortars and embedding mortars in ETICS.
