Elvace® 737 is a high solids carboxylated vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer known for its excellent wet tack and rapid setting speed. Its high ethylene content enhances adhesion, forming tough, flexible polymer films with strong resistance to plasticizer migration and water. Ideal for high solids specialty adhesives, it provides low VOC content and adheres well to packaging films and foil.
