Applicable Base Polymer Properties

Vinyl acetate acrylic copolymer emulsions are designed for use in formulating high performance adhesives for several industries. It provides a high level of adhesion to a variety of difficult-to-bond surfaces including PVC and polyolefin films. These adhesives provide a low to medium performance relatively inexpensive adhesive that dries quickly.

Resulting Properties

The low viscosity of the water emulsion and its fast setting capability provide an excellent adhesive for bonding of flexible construction material. The table above provides a formulation for a vinyl acetate acrylate copolymer adhesive that will provide a fast set and good penetration into the porous substrates. The latex adhesive dries to a somewhat rubbery film by virtue of the flexible nature of the copolymer. The adhesive has good resistance to water and good adhesion to most substrates. It also has good low temperature flexibility.
