POLYVINYL ACETATE EMULSION Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) emulsion is a synthetic polymer emulsion used as an adhesive and binder in various applications. It is a milky white liquid that forms a strong, flexible, and transparent film upon drying. PVAc emulsion is widely used in the production of adhesives for wood, paper, textiles, and packaging. It is also used as a binder in paints, coatings, and sealants. PVAc emulsion is non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and easy to handle. Proper handling includes the use of protective gloves and goggles to avoid skin and eye irritation. Storage should be in tightly sealed containers to prevent drying out and contamination. Disposal must follow local regulations to prevent environmental harm. PVAc emulsion is valued for its strong adhesion, versatility, and ease of use, making it a popular choice in various industrial and consumer applications.
