ELVACE® 734

ELVACE® 734 was developed as a cost effective vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer emulsion for use in compounding today's packaging and construction adhesives requiring a low VOC content. It offers the adhesive formulator many of the exclusive benefits expected from copolymer emulsions such as good specific adhesion and a tough permanently flexible adhesive film. In addition, Elvace® 734 includes custom features like a faster rate of set and increased water resistance. Overall, the combined features of Elvace® 734 give it a high value to performance.
