White latex adhesive / polyvinyl acetate adhesive is a thermoplastic adhesive made by polymerizing vinyl acetate monomer under the action of an initiator. It cures at room temperature, cures quickly, has high bonding strength, and the bonding layer has good durability and is not prone to aging.
Chinese name: White latex adhesive.
Alias: Polyvinyl acetate adhesive.
Ingredients: Mainly polyvinyl acetate, water, and other additives.
Characteristics: Cures at room temperature, fast curing, high bonding strength.
Properties
White latex adhesive is currently one of the most widely used and largest-volume adhesives. White latex adhesive is a water-based environmentally friendly adhesive obtained by emulsion polymerization using water as the dispersion medium. Due to its good film-forming properties, high bonding strength, fast curing speed, good resistance to dilute acids and alkalis, convenient use, low price, and absence of organic solvents, it is widely used in wood, furniture, decoration, printing, textile, leather, papermaking, and other industries, and has become a familiar adhesive.
White latex adhesive is a water-soluble adhesive, a thermoplastic adhesive polymerized from vinyl acetate monomer under the action of an initiator. It is generally called white latex or PVAC emulsion. Its chemical name is polyvinyl acetate adhesive. It is made from vinyl acetate composed of acetic acid and ethylene, with the addition of titanium dioxide (or, for lower grades, light calcium carbonate, talc powder, and other powders), then emulsion polymerized into a milky white thick liquid.
Fast drying, good initial viscosity, good workability; strong adhesion, high compressive strength; strong heat resistance.
Performance
(1) White latex adhesive has a series of advantages such as room temperature curing, fast curing, high bonding strength, good durability, and not being prone to aging. It can be widely used for bonding paper products (wallpaper), waterproof coatings, and wood adhesives.
(2) It uses water as a dispersant, is safe to use, non-toxic, non-flammable, easy to clean, cures at room temperature, has good adhesion to wood, paper, and fabric, high bonding strength, the cured adhesive layer is colorless and transparent, has good durability, and does not contaminate the bonded materials.
(3) It can also be used as a modifier for adhesives such as phenolic resin and urea-formaldehyde resin, for making polyvinyl acetate latex paint, etc.
(4) The emulsion has good stability, and the storage period can reach more than half a year. Therefore, it can be widely used in printing binding and furniture making, for bonding paper, wood, cloth, leather, ceramics, etc.
