ELOTEX®
Strength and Flexibility for Drymix Mortars
Redispersible polymer powders and specialty additives
With our ELOTEX® products we supply the ready-mixed mortar industry with high-quality redispersible polymer powders and specialty additives. ELOTEX is used in cement, lime or gypsum-based finished drymix mortar products and applications ranging from flooring, grouts over external thermal insulation composite systems to plastering and renders.
Our free-flowing ELOTEX redispersible polymer powders are obtained through spray-drying of optimized latex dispersions and they have a decisive influence on cement, lime or gypsum-based finished drymix mortar products. Our expertise in the development and production of these dispersions allows us to supply products designed to improve a wide range of mortars, allowing for:
The ELOTEX specialty additives range comprises a number of different technologies ranging from formulated additives (ELOTEX® CAST) to encapsulated silane technology (ELOTEX® SEAL).
In applications ranging from flooring, grouts over external thermal insulation composite systems to plastering and renders, our customers can experience improvements from using specialty additives:
ELOTEX building and construction applications
|
Application areas: |
Performance advantages: |
|
Flooring |
ELOTEX® and BERMOCOLL® products support the rheology and workability of the full range of flooring formulations improving ease of on-site application and ensuring exceptionally smooth, defect-free surfaces. |
|
Tiling |
Cementitious tile adhesives formulated with ELOTEX® and BERMOCOLL® products are easy to work with, environmentally friendly, easy to apply and offer flexible, long lasting performance of tiled areas. |
|
Grouts |
Tile grouts incorporating ELOTEX® and BERMOCOLL® products, seal the gaps between tiles and compensate for any unevenness. In addition, tile joints perform an architectural and aesthetic function with their pattern and coloring |
|
ETICS/EIFS |
The use of ELOTEX® and BERMOCOLL® products is essential for the workability, water retention, open time and general physical properties of the ETICS (External Thermal Insulation Composite System) mortars. |
|
Waterproofing |
Highly flexible cementitious waterproofing membrane modified with ELOTEX® redispersible polymer powders are ideal for use on substrates prone to shrinkage, cracking, movements, stresses or vibrations. |
|
Repair |
Heavy traffic, climatic conditions, and pollution are all factors challenging building structures on a daily basis. Sooner or later, renovation is necessary in order to maintain structural integrity. |
|
Gypsum joint fillers |
Gypsum joint fillers are generally used between gypsum boards in combination with paper strip as reinforcement to give a strong and even surface for further processing with paint, wallpaper or finishing plaster. |
|
Gypsum plasters |
Plasters based on gypsum or combined with hydrated lime are commonly used as interior leveling plasters for walls and ceilings. |
|
Cement and lime based renders |
Cement or cement lime renders are used for exterior and wet interior applications because of their higher strength and durability. |
|
Polymer binder systems |
Cement free or low cement containing polymer plasters are used as replacements for ready-to-use pasty systems or for applications where high flexibility and scrub resistance is needed. |
|
Speciality applications |
