Vinavil® EVA 204

Vinavil® EVA 204 by Vinavil is an ethylene-vinyl acetate aqueous dispersion with excellent mechanical stability. It has polivinyl alcohol as emulsifying system. Provides quick setting time, excellent adhesion to plastic materials 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 or coalescing agents. 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. It can be used to prepare adhesives suitable for wood lamination with 3D press system. Vinavil® EVA 204 can also 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 (benzoic acid esters, polymer based, triacetin, acetyltributylcitrate), tackifiers resins (natural and modified colophony, coumarone-indene, terpenes, hydrocarbons) and natural latex rubber. It has a shelf life of 6 months.
