Vinyl Acetate Ethylene (VAE) Copolymers are formed by the copolymerization of vinyl acetate and ethylene. VAEs are water-based emulsions, also sold in powder form (construction adhesives). VAEs offer unique moisture resistance, flexibility, improved tack and adhesion in low temperature and wet conditions. They adhere well to non porous surfaces like vinyl, aluminum, etc. VAE copolymers find use in packaging adhesives and laminating applications.

Application：

Adhesive (furniture and decoration)

Offers good thermal stability, excellent bonding strength, and quick setting speed.

Packaging and paper adhesive

Excellent setting speed, good maintainability, and easy processing.

Paint and coating (VAE emulsion for coating)

Low odor, low volatile organic compound (VOC), outstanding shielding power, excellent scrub resistance, and easy to adjust additives’ composition.

Paint and coating (waterproofing concrete)

Good flexibility and good water resistance.

Textile and non-woven fabric

Excellent aging resistance and is formaldehyde-free.

Construction

Good flexibility and good water resistance.
