Elvace® 760 is a PVOH-stabilized vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer emulsion characterized by low solids content and good viscosity. It provides good wet tack, effective viscosity build with plasticizer addition, and excellent machining properties. With medium to high ethylene content, it ensures enhanced adhesion and forms tough, flexible polymer films. This copolymer is ideal as a base for specialty adhesives that require superior machining and low VOC content.
