• It has a shelf life of 24 months.
• Complies with FDA 175.300.

Vinavil® EVA 015 by Vinavil is an ethylene-vinyl acetate water dispersion with polyvinyl alcohol as emulsifying system. Provides quick setting time, excellent adhesion to plastic materials, mechanical stability and a high cohesive strength. Shows a pseudo-plastic rheological behavior, which makes it particularly suitable for high speed machines. Exhibits resistance to high and low temperatures. Offers increase in viscosity of the emulsion and improves adhesion at low temperature without significantly lowering heat and creep resistance. It can be modified by adding plasticizers (dibutylphtalate) or coalescing agents (diethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate). Applications include bonding plastic foils to wood, fiberboard and absorbent substrates for automatic packaging, bookbinding, automatic lamination of paper and board with plastic and metal foils. Vinavil® EVA 015 can be used to glue paper with plastic sheets and overlacquered papers, also with high-speed machines. It can be formulated with mineral fillers, such as calcium carbonate and calcium sulphate. It is especially compatible with thickeners (cellulosic and acrylic nature), plasticizers (phtalic esters, polymer based, chlorinated paraffine waxes, triacetin, acetyltributylcitrate), tackifiers resins (natural and modified colophony, coumarone-indene, terpenes, hydrocarbons) and natural latex rubber. Vinavil® EVA 015 complies by composition with BGVV XIV and FDA CFR 175.105. It has a shelf life of 6 months.

Vinavil® EVA 2603 L by Vinavil is an aqueous dispersion of a vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer with good water resistance. Provides quick setting time and excellent mechanical stability. Offers excellent setting speed and good adhesion on different substrates (lacquered or plastic-coated polyolefin films and other difficult to bond materials) which makes it the ideal base for adhesives used on automatic high speed packaging machines. Shows moderate increase in viscosity on the addition of coalescing agents and/or solvents and/or plasticizers. It is particularly suitable for paper and board adhesives assemblies, showing excellent performances when employed in mosaic net glue. It is especially compatible with thickeners (cellulosic and acrylic nature), plasticizers (benzoic acid esters, polymer based, triacetin, acetyltributylcitrate), tackifiers resins (natural and modified colophony, coumarone-indene, terpenes, hydrocarbons) and natural latex rubber.
