Elvace® 40705-00 is a vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer known for forming tough, permanently flexible polymer films. It offers excellent viscosity build with plasticizer addition, superior adhesion to packaging film and foil, and resistance to plasticizer migration and hydrolysis. With low grit content, it is suitable for extrusion applications. Recommended for microwave packaging adhesive formulas, it ensures short bond development times with poor borax tolerance.
