Applicable Base Polymer Properties
Waterborne vinyl acetate copolymer adhesives for construction applications have relatively good flexibility and low temperature properties (by virtue of added plasticizers) and excellent adhesion to wood and paper. These adhesives provide a low to medium performance relatively inexpensive adhesive that dries quickly. A typical formulation consists of VAE/acrylate latex, filler (if greater viscosity is desired), plasticizer (for improved flexibility), and water.
