Vinavil EVA 015 Vinyl acetate ethylene copolymer Vinavil Ethylene copolymers - emulsions (VAE, EVC) >> Vinyl Acetate Ethylene copolymers, VAE ADHESIVE >> Water-based VINAVIL EVA 015 is an ethylene-vinyl acetate water dispersion, with 60% solid content and polyvinyl alcohol as emulsifying system. Adhesives used for bonding plastic foils to wood and fibreboard. Adhesives used to bond plastic foils to absorbent substrates for automatic packaging, bookbinding, automatic lamination of paper and board with plastic and metal foils. VINAVIL EVA 015 is a vinylacetate-ethylene copolymer with excellent adhesion to plastic materials and an high cohesive strength. These features make it suitable for prepare adhesives used for bonding plastic foil to wood and it fibre boards where resistance to high and low temperatures and creep are required. VINAVIL EVA 015 shows a pseudo-plastic rheological behaviour which makes it particularly suitable for high speed machines. It can be modified by adding plasticizers (dibutylphtalate) or coalescing agents (diethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate). The addition of such additives brings to an increase in viscosity of the emulsion and improves adhesion at low temperature without significantly lowering heat and creep resistance. VINAVIL EVA 015 can be formulated with mineral fillers, such as calcium carbonate and calciumsulphate, without significant performance reductions. Due to the quick setting time VINAVIL EVA 015 can be used either to glue paper with plastic sheets and overlacquered papers, also with high-speed machines. VINAVIL EVA 015 is compatible with the components usually employed in vinyl-ethylene copolymers based aqueous adhesives such as: - acrylic and cellulosic thickeners - plasticizers such as phtalate and polymeric esters, chlorinated paraffins, triacetin - tackifiers, such as natural and modified rosin; coumarone-indene, terpene and hydrocarbon resins. Tackifiers can be added to VINAVIL EVA 015 after dissolving them in solvents (e.g. toluene, ethyl acetate, etc.) - natural rubber latex, after addition of ammonia (to approx. 9 pH), to the VINAVIL EVA 015. VINAVIL EVA 015 is also compatible with most VINAVIL dispersions; however it is advisable to check VINAVIL EVA 015 compatibility with the other component to be used. Vinylacetate-ethylene copolymer with polyvinyl alcohol as emulsifying system. Possesses pseudo-plastic rheological properties, quick setting time and good compatibility with usually employed components in vinyl-ethylene copolymers based aqueous adhesives (acrylic and cellulosic thickeners, plasticizers, rosins, terpene and hydrocarbon resins, natural rubber latex, mineral fillers). Provides very good adhesion to plastic materials, high cohesive strength and good resistance to creep. Applications: bonding plastic foils to wood, fibreboard and absorbent substrates for automatic packaging, bookbinding, automatic lamination of paper and board with plastic and metal foils. Can be used either to glue paper.
