Resulting Properties

The low viscosity of the water emulsion and its fast setting capability provide an excellent adhesive for bonding for flexible construction material. The table above provides formulations for a vinyl acetate acrylate copolymer adhesive that will provide an adhesive for bonding PVC film to chipboard. This adhesive also has:

Good adhesion with excellent low temperature flexibility
Good aging characteristics
Outstanding borax tolerance and solvent tolerance
Excellent film flexibility.
