The use of an adhesion-promoting additive combination composed of one or more polyalkylenoxides out of the group comprising polypropylene oxides and ethylene oxide-propylene oxide copolymers, and of one or more starch ether derivatives out of the group comprising carboxyalkyl starch ethers and their alkali salts, and hydroxyalkyl starch ethers, in mortar compositions comprising mineral binders and water-redispersible polymer powders.

Use of polypropylene oxide or ethylene oxide-propylene oxide copolymers in combination with starch ether derivatives as additive in dry mortar compositions

Hydrophobicizing agents which are easily admixed with construction chemical products are prepared by providing a solution of a protective colloid and adding thereto a fatty acid compound sensitive to high pH environments, optionally, a hydrophobicizing organosilicon compound, and drying the resulting aqueous mixture.

Hydrophobing additive

Polyvinyl-alcohol-stabilized redispersible powders which have plasticizing properties are obtained by drying polyvinyl-alcohol-stabilized aqueous dispersions of polymers of one or more monomers from the group of vinyl esters of optionally branched Calkylcarboxylic acids, (meth)acrylic esters of optionally branched Calcohols, dienes, olefins, vinylaromatics and vinylhalides,

Polyvinyl-alcohol-stabilized redispersible powders with plasticizing properties

Hydrophobically modified polymer compositions contain at least one polymer based on one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers, in the form of an aqueous polymer dispersions or water-redispersible polymer powder prepared therefrom, further containing, a) one or more silanes, polysilanes, oligosiloxanes, polysiloxanes, carbosilanes, polycarbosilanes, carbosiloxanes, polycarbosiloxanes, polysilylenedisiloxanes, and b) one or more fatty compounds from the group of the fatty acids having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms, their metal soaps, their amides, and their esters with monohydric alcohols having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, with glycol, with polyglycol, with polyalkylene glycol, with glycerol, with mono-, di-, or triethanolamine, or with monosaccharides.

Hydrophobically modified polymers

The invention provides mixed aromatic vinyl-1,3-diene polymers stabilized by a protective colloid and present in the form of aqueous polymer dispersions or polymer powders redispersible in water as adhesives for porous substrates. The polymer dispersions and the polymer powders are obtained by emulsion polymerization of a mixture containing: a) 20 to 80 percent by weight of one or more vinylaromatics; b) 19.9 to 79.9 percent by weight of one or more 1,3-dienes; c) 0.1 to 15 percent by weight of one or more comonomers from the group consisting of N-methylolacrylamide, N-methylolmethacrylamide and the N-(alkoxymethyl)-acrylamides and N-(alkoxymethyl)-methacrylamides with a C to C -alkyl radical. The sum of the above percentages adds up to 100% by weight. Emulsion polymerization is carried out in the presence of one or more protective colloids and without emulsifiers, optionally followed by drying of the resulting aqueous polymer dispersion.
