    Application Information
    • DA-1020 improves adhesion, flexural strength, plasticity, abrasion resistance and workability of modified compounds such as tile adhesives, thermal insulation systems, repair mortars, trowelling compounds and mineral plasters.
    • DA-1020 contains a fine, mineral filler as anti-blocking agent. It is free of solvents, plasticizers and film-forming aids.
    Application Information

    Tile adhesives:

    • For thin-bed tile adhesives with good frost resistance, we recommend using 1 - 5% DA-1020 and about 0.2 - 0.6 % of cellulose ether or other appropriate cellulose derivatives as water retention agent.
    • Tile adhesives containing 5 - 10 % DA-1020 are also suitable for bonding tiles to tiles or, depending on formulation, of tiles to organic substrates, such as wood and wood products.

    Repair mortars:

    • DA-1020 is particularly well suited for modifying repair mortars, especially concrete renovation mortars.
    • DA-1020 improves the adhesion, flexural strength, abrasion resistance and workability. We recommend adding 1 – 6 % redispersible powder.

    Mineral plasters:

    • DA-1020 added to cement and lime-cement finishing plasters improved their adhesion and flexibility.
    • To achieve optimum results, between 1.0 - 6.0% DA-1020 based on the total weight should be added.

    Trowelling compound:

    • DA-1020 is ideal for use in decorative rendering in combination with hydraulic binders such as cement or gypsum.
    • The amount to be added will depend on the formulation and requirements on adhesion, flexibility as well as impact, and ranges from 1 – 5 % DA-1020 based on total weight.

    6 Months
    Storage Condition
    • DA-1020 redispersible powder should be stored in cool and dry environment. It is recommended to use as soon as possible in summer.
    • Storage in high temperature and humidity conditions will increase the risk of caking.
    • Opened containers should be used as soon as possible, if not, should be resealed to prevent ingress of moisture from the air.
    • DA-1020 redispersible powder supplied in paper bags should not be stacked.
    • Prolonged heavy pressure may cause caking.
    • Storage under pressure should also be avoided.
