Description

Acetic Acid Ethenyl Ester, Polymer With Ethene, n-(Hydroxymethyl)-2-Propenamide And 2-Propenamide is a specialized copolymer designed to deliver enhanced performance characteristics. This engineered polymer is significant for its ability to combine the properties of vinyl acetate-ethylene (VAE) with reactive functional groups from N-(hydroxymethyl)acrylamide and acrylamide, offering superior adhesion, crosslinking potential, and durability. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the adhesives, coatings, textile finishing, and paper coating industries seeking to improve product performance and processing efficiency.

Application

• Adhesive Formulations: Used as a key binder in high-performance water-based adhesives for wood, packaging, and laminates, providing excellent tack and bond strength.
• Industrial & Protective Coatings: Serves as a film-forming agent in coatings for metal, concrete, and plastics, enhancing weather resistance, hardness, and chemical stability.
• Textile Finishing & Nonwovens: Applied as a durable binder and stiffening agent for fabric finishing, pigment printing, and the production of nonwoven fabrics.
• Paper & Paperboard Coating: Improves surface strength, printability, and water resistance in coated papers and paperboard products.
• Construction Materials: Incorporated into cement modifiers and tile adhesives to improve flexibility, adhesion, and reduce cracking.
• Crosslinking Agent: The reactive N-methylol groups enable thermal or catalytic crosslinking, making it valuable for producing thermosetting resins and cured films.

Quality Control

Our production of this functional copolymer adheres to strict quality management systems. Each batch is characterized for critical parameters including monomer content, solids percentage, viscosity, pH, and particle size to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 5°C and 30°C (41°F - 86°F). Do not freeze. For emulsion forms, protect from extreme temperatures and prolonged storage to maintain stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
