Yes,you can, but need to control the amount added and pay attention to the mixing method.
The difference between RDP powder and putty powder
Although putty powder and RDP powder are both commonly used materials in the field of decoration and building materials, they do not have the same role and characteristics. Putty powder is mainly used to fill the gaps in the wall or plasterboard, and at the same time can level and repair the wall; while the RDP powder is a kind of adhesive material that plays an adhesive role, and can bond the two materials together.
The role of adding RDP powder
RDP powder can be added to putty powder to achieve the purpose of enhancing its durability and adhesion, but also make the putty powder easier to paint and scrape, reduce the surface scraping out of the situation of burrs. After a certain mixing ratio and construction method control, adding RDP powder not only will not have a negative impact on the putty powder, but also can improve its quality and performance.
Methods and precautions for adding RDP powder
1. Control of joining ratio
In the use of RDP powder, you need to control the proportion of adding, must pay attention to the proportion when mixing with putty powder, usually recommended to add about 3% of the amount, that is, the weight proportion of putty powder.
2. The way of mixing
When mixing the RDP powder and putty powder, it needs to be fully stirred, and the mixing time also needs to be controlled within the appropriate range. Pay attention to the uniformity when mixing to avoid leaving dry powder lumps or precipitation.
3. Correctly select the type of RDP powder
The selection of adhesive powder should be made according to the specific needs, and different types and brands of RDP powder should be selected to achieve better results.
How about Mikrant dispersible polymer powder(RDP)?
Mikrant specializes in the production of high quality polymer powder for the construction industry. Putty added with Mikrant RDP powder has obvious waterproof effect and enhanced bonding.
Waterproofing effect: Putty powder added with RDP powder can increase the waterproof performance of the wall and prevent the wall from moisture.
Enhanced bonding: RDP powder can increase the bonding between putty powder and wall surface, preventing putty powder from falling off.
Construction Suggestions
Mixing ratio: when mixing putty, it should be strictly in accordance with the ratio specified in the product, and mix the putty fully, and wait for ten to twenty minutes after mixing before use.
Construction skill: Use spatula or scraper to spread the putty evenly on the wall surface, make sure the putty is fully bonded with the wall surface, try to get it in one step and avoid repeated scraping.
Sanding: After the putty is completely dry, sandpaper from the wall around the center for sanding, sanding needs to be cleaned up immediately after the floating dust, and then you can directly paint the wall.
Conclusion
When using putty powder with RDP powder, you need to pay attention to the proportion and mixing method of adding glue powder, and choose the type of RDP powder that is suitable for your project, only in this way can you achieve better results. At the same time should pay attention to the environment, materials and tools in the construction of cleanliness is particularly important, to avoid because of some small problems affect the subsequent process.
