The main application of these PVAc emulsions is are found in adhesives, such as wood glue and binders or coatings for porous materials such as cardboard, paper, fabrics, food-stuff, etc.
PVAc is also known as “white glue”. PVAc is often a raw material for special adhesives that can be blend with adhesion promoters, tackifiers and wetting agents. It is also possible to blend PVAc with:
- Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVOH or PVA)
- Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA)
- Ethylene-Vinyl Alcohol (EVOH)
