A polymer is a chemical compound with a chain structure formed by the regular combination of a large number of molecules with chemical bonds. Polymers are natural (organic) or synthetic long-chain structures. Polymers are used in cosmetics, shampoos and other hair care products, food (starch, gelatin, chewing gum, etc.), plastics (bottles, toys, packaging), fabrics, balls, shoes and DNA.
Polymers can be available in solid, liquid or solution form. Structural differences are related to their thermal, mechanical or physical properties. The chemical formula and morphology of polymers are also important. In a solid-state polymer, there are three basic layouts: amorphous structure, oriented structure, and crystal structure.
What Is Powder Polymer?
Powder polymers are products that improve the bonding property of mortar in cement-based products. It ensures the product adhesion, high water resistance, high flexibility and ease of operation. Because of these properties, it is suitable for use in jacketing adhesives and plasters, ceramic adhesives, waterproofing plasters and adhesives, repair mortars and joint fillings.
The powder polymer ensures a homogeneous mixing of the bonding mortar components with each other. It contributes to improving the performance of bonding mortar. It improves the adhesion of the mortar and increases its mechanical properties. It gives elasticity to thermal and mechanical stressed construction materials. Measurement is provided by tensile-bending tests. Its presence in the product can also be determined by the smell of vinyl.
Powder Polymer Properties
Mortar, adhesion, fracture strength, plasticization, high resistance to wear increases the mechanical properties of mortar structure and provide elasticity to products.
It is highly compatible to form high performance repair mortar additive and improve mortar structure.
It has high adhesive strength at low temperature, good alkali strength, air strength and freeze thaw resistance.
Powder Polymer Uses
The polymer is mainly used in construction materials. Uses of powder polymer can be listed as;
Heat insulation
Tile adhesives
Cement-based specialty products that require high flexibility
Wall putty
Landscaping, germination of artificial peat production
Rooting, seedling
Soil and fertilizer mixtures
Hydroponic agriculture and decorative purposes
Diapers, elderly patients’ diapers
In operating rooms, absorbent tampons
In petrochemicals,
In mining
In fire retardants
Water and fire insulation of electrical cables
