Vinyl acetate/ethylene/vinylchloride (VAEVC) terpolymers

Vinyl acetate/ethylene/vinylchloride (VAEVC) terpolymers are often used in the form of dispersions for the production of abrasion-resistant interior paints, exterior wall paints, resin-bound plasters and cement additives.

Applications

Vinyl acetate/ethylene (VAE) and vinyl acetate/vinyl versatate copolymers with a predominance of Vinyl acetate are employed as dispersions e.g. for the production of adhesive films for textiles, such as nonwovens

Ethylene/Vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers with a large proportion of ethylene can be used as PE dispersion binders. VAE in powder form can help to make stronger & more flexible PLA based shrink film and other films.

Acetate/ethylene/vinyl chloride terpolymers have a wide range of applications due to their unique combination of properties. Examples are:

  • Adhesives and Sealants: These terpolymers are often used in adhesives for paper, packaging, and wood, as well as in sealants for construction and automotive applications.
  • Coatings: VAEVC terpolymers can be used in industrial coatings due to their excellent adhesion, flexibility, flame retardancy and chemical resistance.
  • Textiles: These terpolymers can be used in textile coatings to provide water resistanc, flame resistance and durability
  • Automotive: In the automotive industry, they are used for interior trim and door paneling.
  • Construction: They are used in various construction materials, including flexible flooring and caulks1.
  • Packaging: These terpolymers are used in food packaging and film lamination due to their good barrier properties.
  • VAEVC’s versatility makes them suitable for many other specialized applications as well, including cosmetics and biomaterials.
