Ethylene Co-terpolymers - Emulsions (VAE, EVC) > Vinyl Acetate Ethylene Copolymers (VAE)
Vinyl Acetate Ethylene (VAE) Copolymers are formed by the copolymerization of vinyl acetate and ethylene. VAEs are water-based emulsions, also sold in powder form (construction adhesives). VAEs offer unique moisture resistance, flexibility, improved tack and adhesion in low temperature and wet conditions. They adhere well to non porous surfaces like vinyl, aluminum, etc. VAE copolymers find use in packaging adhesives and laminating applications.
