VINNAPAS® 5012 T

VINNAPAS® 5012 T is a thixotropic dispersible polymer powder for dry mix technology, specifically suited for tile adhesives, renders and plasters, wall and joint fillers, as well as skim coats. It is based on a hard copolymer of vinylacetate and ethylene and belongs to the product class VINNAPAS® T, which means it has a thixotropic effect on rheology and provides the basic properties adhesion and flexibility in addition. VINNAPAS® 5012 T is part of our standard range, offering you the best-in-class solution for a wide variety of applications.


Properties

  • VINNAPAS® 5012 T is a copolymer powder of vinyl acetate and ethylene and is dispersible in water.
  • Compounds modified with VINNAPAS® 5012 T such as tile adhesives and troweling compounds, exhibit improved adhesion, flexural strength in bending, deformability and abrasion resistance and are easier to process.
  • When used with cement and gypsum, it provides excellent non-sag properties. This is particularly useful for the production of vertical and overhead adhesives and wall-troweling compounds.
  • VINNAPAS® 5012 T contains a fine mineral filler as an antiblocking agent. It is produced without the addition of organic solvents, plasticizers and film-forming agents.
  • VINNAPAS® 5012 T is a non-slump hard dispersible polymer powder. It has very good general-purpose properties in applications requiring mortars with non-slump properties. It is suitable for the formulation of mortars with low emissions.

For typical application fields of VINNAPAS® 5012 T, refer to the section "application". Please discuss additional applications with your WACKER customer representative.

Processing 

For the production of ready-mixed dry mortars, such as adhesives and patching compounds, blend VINNAPAS® 5012 T with the other dry ingredients in appropriate equipment. Temperatures should not be allowed to rise excessively during mixing because otherwise the dispersible polymer powder could agglomerate by virtue of its thermoplastic properties. The mortar is prepared for use by adding the recommended amount of water and mixing mechanically or by hand. Since hand mixing generates little shear force, we recommend allowing the fresh mortar to slake for 5 minutes and then stirring it again. This is usually unnecessary where mechanical mixers are employed.


 

If the product is used in applications other than those mentioned, the choice, processing and use of it is the sole responsibility of the purchaser. All legal and other regulations must be complied with.

Slight color variations of the polymer granulate may occure without impairing the product's functionality.

Storage

During storage, protect the product from contact with moisture. Prolonged storage at temperatures above 30 °C, especially in combination with pressure, humidity or exposure to sunlight, may result in blocking. Carefully seal any open containers and store them under suitable conditions. We recommend storing the product in a warehouse that provides cool and dry conditions. Do not store the product for more than six months, starting from the date at which it was received, unless the Certificate of Analysis contains a different date, which would take precedence. If the product is stored longer than recommended, it may still be used but users are advised to verify the properties required for the intended use.
