A water redispersible polymer powder is produced by drying an aqueous mixture of a high Tcarboxylated styrene butadiene polymer and a low Tcarboxylated styrene butadiene polymer, where the ratio of the mean or average particle size of the high Tpolymer to the particle size of the low Tpolymer is from 1:1 to 5:1, preferably from 1:1 to 3:1, and the amount of the high Tpolymer is from 20 wt. % to 35 wt. %, preferably from 25 wt. % to 30 wt. %, based upon the total weight of the high Tpolymer and the low Tpolymer. Cement compositions such as mortars, which contain the redispersible polymer powder exhibit unexpectedly superior high bond strength and high impact resistance.
