How Does vae powders Work?

Polymer powders based on VAE are marketed under the trade names VINNAPAS®, VINNACEL® and ETONIS®.

Goto Haoshuo to know more.

Main Characteristics:

VAE polymer powders combine the adhesion of vinyl acetate with the flexibility of ethylene. This leads to various ecological and economic benefits without compromising performance.

Main Benefits:

• Excellent Cohesion
• Very good adhesion to critical substrates such as wood, plastics or polystyrene
• Flexibility can be engineered without the need to add plasticizers
• Good low-temperature film forming without additional coalescing agents
• Glass transition temperatures (Tg) from high to low are possible
• All modern polymer powders are produced without added APEOs

Main Application Areas:

• Construction
• Concrete modification
• PVAc

Terpolymers based on VAcE and VEOVA are marketed under the trademark VINNAPAS®. VEOVA and vinyl laurate monomers are marketed under the name VERSA®.

Main Characteristics:

Polymer powders based on VAcE and VEOVA have a very low Tg.

We are dedicated to assisting our customers by sharing our technical knowledge and industry experience to help you to create new products and develop competitive advantages in your business arenas. 

Within the Building & Construction segment, Mallard Creek Polymers offers a full line of Vinyl Acetate-Ethylene (VAE) polymers, both in emulsion form and redispersible powders (RDPs). The incorporation of ethylene comonomer into these products contributes to softness and flexibility without the use of external plasticizers which can migrate from the formulation. The VAE co-and terpolymers also bond to a greater variety of difficult surfaces than do general polyvinyl acetate resins.

The VAE copolymers can be used as cement and plaster modifiers, as binder resins for inorganic materials like gypsum and hydrated lime, or as the sole binder resin for coatings and adhesives. The VAE's improve flex strength, crack resistance, adhesion & impact resistance, water repellency, dispersion, workability and water retention to name a few attributes. The Redispersible Powder form is often referred to as 'dry latex' since they can be dry mixed and subsequently easily redispersed into water.
