Tile MasticImprove barrier and bonding properties with Specialty Latexes from Dow Reichhold

Specialty Latexes are highly effective cement additives that improve performance in a wide range of applications. Bonding agents for cement overlays, thin set mortars, tile mastics, patch and repair compounds, glass mats for roofing, and thickeners all benefit from the unique properties of Specialty Latexes from Dow Reichhold Specialty Latex LLC.

Choose from styrene butadiene, acrylic, styrene acrylic, and butadiene acrylonitrile latexes to get the best property set for your application:
  • Improved adhesion
  • Moisture vapor barrier
  • Improved strength
  • Color stability in pigmented systems
  • Oil and grease resistance
