Tenessy RDP for Drymix Mortar
TENSESSY™ Redispersible Polymer Powder (RDP) is a high-performance additive specially designed to enhance the quality and versatility of drymix mortar systems. Produced by spray-drying a premium-grade polymer emulsion, it redistributes into an emulsion when mixed with water—restoring the original properties of the polymer. Once dried, it forms a flexible, durable film that provides excellent bonding, weather resistance, and long-lasting performance.
By incorporating TENSESSY™ RDP, manufacturers and contractors can achieve improved adhesion, strength, and workability across a wide range of cement-based products—such as tile adhesives, wall putty, grouts, self-leveling mortars, repair mortars, and waterproof coatings.
How Does Redispersible Polymer Powder Work in Drymix Mortar?
RDP works by redistributing into a polymer emulsion when mixed with water. During the hydration and drying process of the mortar, the polymer particles form a continuous, flexible film that binds cement and aggregates together.
This film enhances internal cohesion, increases adhesion to substrates, and provides flexibility to absorb stress and prevent cracking. The result is a smoother, more durable mortar with stronger bonding and improved resistance to impact, abrasion, and environmental conditions.
Recommended RDP Grades for Drymix Mortar
RDP 5516
Excellent adhesion and cohesion; improves workability and abrasion resistance.
Benefits of Using RDP in Drymix Mortar
- Excellent Adhesion and Cohesion: Ensures a strong bond between the mortar and substrate, even on challenging surfaces.
- Improved Flexural Strength: Enhances crack resistance and flexibility under structural movement or temperature changes.
- Enhanced Durability: Increases abrasion and impact resistance for long-lasting performance.
- Superior Workability: Makes mixing and application smoother, reducing labor time and improving surface finish.
- Better Water Retention: Maintains optimal moisture during curing, improving hydration and preventing shrinkage cracks.
- Weather and Water Resistance: Protects against moisture penetration, efflorescence, and freeze-thaw damage.

FAQ
RDP is used in drymix mortars to improve adhesion, flexibility, water resistance, and durability. It’s essential for tile adhesives, wall putty, repair mortars, self-leveling systems, and waterproof coatings.
The most common polymer bases include VAE (vinyl acetate–ethylene), VA/VeoVa (vinyl acetate–vinyl versatate), and acrylic polymers. Each type provides distinct benefits such as flexibility, water resistance, or weather durability.
RDP enhances the bonding strength, flexibility, and cohesion of mortar. It forms a polymer film that connects particles tightly and allows the mortar to withstand stress, moisture, and temperature changes.
Store in a dry, cool place away from sunlight and humidity. Keep the packaging sealed tightly after opening to maintain powder flow and prevent clumping.
