VINYL ACETATE BASED POLYMER LATEX COMPOSITION, ESPECIALLY FOR ADHESIVES

摘要

The present invention relates to a vinyl acetate based polymer latex composition obtained by emulsion polymerization, the polymer comprising PVOH, and a monomer mixture, said monomer mixture comprising vinyl acetate, and a pre-crosslinking monome r se-lected from one or more polyethylenically unsaturated compounds wherein said pre--crosslinking monomer is present in amount of less than 0.01% by weight based on the total monomer content and which pre-crosslinking monomer is initially charge d to the polymerization reaction mixture. The invention further relates to use of the vinyl acetate based polymer latex in an adhesive, preferably a woodworking adhesive and to an adhe-sive, preferably a woodworking adhesive comprising said latex.
