Vinavil® EVA 015

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.
