  • Blending Modified VAE Emulsion
    Aug 06, 2021
    Vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer emulsion is a polymer emulsion made of vinyl acetate and ethylene as basic raw materials, referred to as VAE emulsion or EVA emulsion in English. Since its introduction in 1965, it has been widely used in adhesives, building materials, coatings, papermaking, fabric processing, tobacco, packaging and other fields due to its excellent adhesion, permanent flexibility, good acid and alkali resistance and other properties.   In order to improve the performance of VAE emulsion and expand its application range, a lot of fruitful modification research has been done to improve the water resistance, mechanical strength, heat resistance, adhesion, curing speed and other aspects of VAE emulsion. These modification studies are mainly focused on the following directions: additive method, copolymerization method, composite modification method and blending method. Among them, the blending method is a method of physically blending VAE emulsion with one or more polymer solutions or emulsions to form a multi-component system. The properties of the various components of the blending method can complement each other, thereby obtaining new materials with better performance or new properties, reducing costs while potentially expanding the application field of VAE emulsion, allowing VAE emulsion to play a greater application value.   Polymer solutions or polymer emulsions that are often blended with VAE emulsions include: rosin resin, phenolic resin, urea-formaldehyde resin, terpene resin, polyurethane emulsion, acrylic emulsion, styrene-acrylic emulsion, vinyl acetate emulsion, styrene-butadiene emulsion, etc. Since VAE emulsion has good miscibility with a variety of emulsions, blending is the simplest and most direct way to achieve complementary properties of the blended components and obtain new properties.   PVAc emulsion was used to modify VAE emulsion, and at the same time, thickening resin and additives were used to synthesize an adhesive suitable for bonding non-polar plastic materials. The addition of thickening resin significantly improved the bonding strength of the emulsion; the addition of acidic metal salt crosslinking agent improved the water resistance of the system without affecting the stability of the emulsion.   VAE emulsion was modified by blending pure acrylic emulsion, acetic acid acrylic emulsion, silicone acrylic emulsion, styrene acrylic emulsion and VAE emulsion to prepare adhesive. The results show that the VAE emulsion modified by acrylate emulsion has been greatly improved in bonding performance and peel strength. Among them, the adhesive obtained by using acetic acid acrylic emulsion to modify VAE emulsion has the best comprehensive performance, especially the most obvious improvement in high temperature adhesion.   Website: www.elephchem.com Whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com ElephChem Holding Limited, professional market expert in Polyvinyl Alcohol(PVA) and Vinyl Acetate–ethylene Copolymer Emulsion(VAE) with strong recognition and excellent plant facilities of international standards.

  • Factors affecting the viscosity of VAE emulsion
    Jun 03, 2021
    VAE (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer) emulsion viscosity is an important quality indicator and has a significant impact on product mass transfer, heat transfer, fluid flow, emulsion stability and emulsion transportation. Monomer ratio, polymerization temperature, initiator, emulsifier system optimization, electrolyte additives, and storage conditions are all factors that affect the viscosity of VAE emulsion.   1. Monomer ratio The selection and proportion of monomers directly affect the viscosity and other properties of VAE emulsion. The ratio of ethylene to vinyl acetate (VAc) is particularly critical. Generally speaking, VAE emulsions with a VAc content of 70% to 95% have higher viscosity. Increased VAc content will increase the flexibility and elasticity of the emulsion, and will also increase the viscosity of the emulsion.   2.Polymerization temperature control Polymerization temperature is another important factor affecting the viscosity of VAE emulsion. Changes in temperature will affect the rate of free radical generation and the rate of polymerization. Generally speaking, within a suitable temperature range, an increase in temperature will speed up the polymerization reaction, causing the latex particles in the emulsion to grow rapidly, resulting in an increase in viscosity. However, too high a temperature may cause the emulsion to gel, affecting its quality and stability.   3.Initiator The amount and type of initiator have a significant impact on the viscosity of VAE emulsions. Initiators mainly affect the rate of polymerization. When the amount of initiator is large, the polymerization reaction is fast, the number of generated latex particles increases, and the viscosity of the emulsion increases. However, excessive initiator may cause the reaction to be too fast and difficult to control, resulting in reduced emulsion performance. Different types of initiators generate different types of free radicals during the reaction and have different effects on the viscosity of the emulsion.   4. Emulsifier system optimization The selection and dosage of emulsifier are crucial to the stability and viscosity of VAE emulsion. The main function of emulsifier is to reduce the surface tension of emulsion and promote monomer dispersion and emulsion formation. Appropriate emulsifier concentration and anionic/nonionic emulsifier ratio can improve the stability of the emulsion and also affect the viscosity of the emulsion. The degree of polymerization and alcoholysis of protective colloids such as PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) also significantly affect the viscosity of the emulsion. The higher the degree of polymerization of PVA, the greater the viscosity of the emulsion; the higher the degree of alcoholysis, the lower the viscosity of the emulsion.   5.Electrolyte additives The addition of electrolyte additives can affect the viscosity and stability of VAE emulsions. Some electrolyte additives can compress the electric double layer of latex particles and reduce the electrostatic repulsion between latex particles, thereby increasing the viscosity of the emulsion. However, excessive amounts of electrolyte additives may cause aggregation in the emulsion, affecting its performance.   The factors that affect the viscosity of VAE emulsions include reaction time and rate, PH value, storage conditions and stability. In actual production and application, these factors need to be reasonably adjusted according to specific needs and conditions to obtain VAE emulsion products with excellent performance.   Website: www.elephchem.com Whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com ElephChem Holding Limited, professional market expert in Polyvinyl Alcohol(PVA) and Vinyl Acetate–ethylene Copolymer Emulsion(VAE) with strong recognition and excellent plant facilities of international standards.

Here are some typical varieties.   1. PVC film adhesive: 50 parts VAE emulsion (CW40-707), 25 parts terpene resin aqueous dispersion (TSR-5112TP), 20 parts water and 5 parts ethyl acetate. After mixing evenly, the PVC film adhesive is obtained, and the water resistance of the bonded PVC film is better than that of the acrylic emulsion adhesive.   2. Special adhesive for PVC plastic and steel skin: Mixed with VAE emulsion 40-50 parts, rosin or rosin ester emulsion 20-25 parts, DOP 1 part, toluene 3 parts to 5 parts, defoam-0.3 parts to 0.5 parts, PVC plastic and steel skin special adhesive can be prepared for the bonding of PVC plastic and steel skin with plywood or wood-based board.   3. Building decoration glue: Add a small amount of DBP, inorganic fillers (such as paste precipitated barium sulfate, etc.) and auxiliaries to VAE emulsion to produce environmentally friendly white latex. An appropriate amount of VAE emulsion can also be added to polyvinyl acetate emulsion to obtain white latex such as HL-005 white latex with faster curing, less brittleness and better water resistance.   4. Adhesive for cigarette machine: the reference formula is 55 parts VAE emulsion (CW-707), 30 parts modified monomer, mixed soap-free emulsifier 1.0 parts, DBP5 parts, additives (castor oil), butyl phosphate, ethylene glycol, defoamer (n-octanol) small amount.

  • Dispersion polymerization of vinyl acetate
    Feb 22, 2021
    Dispersion polymerization is another kind of heterogeneous free radical polymerization of alene monomers except suspension polymerization and emulsion polymerization. Dispersion polymerization can be regarded as a polymerization between suspension polymerization and emulsion polymerization, and its characteristics are as follows: 1) Water or non-water solvent can be used as the medium. When water is used as a medium, the monomer must be insoluble in water or substantially insoluble in water.2) The dispersion of monomers in water is achieved by intense agitation, and the protective colloid added to the system plays a role in preventing the agglomeration of dispersed phases.3) Water-soluble initiators are required for dispersion polymerization with water as the medium.   In form, dispersion polymerization has many similarities with emulsion polymerization. But there are clear differences. Dispersion polymerization, for example, does not use typical emulsifiers but uses protective colloid to stabilize the polymerization system; The particles obtained by polymerization are larger than those obtained by emulsion polymerization. Let's wait.The polymerization of vinyl acetate in water with polyvinyl alcohol as a protective colloid is a typical dispersion polymerization. Vinyl acetate is a water-soluble monomer with a solubility of about 2.5% in water at room temperature and is easily hydrolyzed. The hydrolysis product acetic acid can seriously interfere with the normal process of polymerization. Therefore, the dispersion polymerization of vinyl acetate has more complicated factors than the common emulsion polymerization. It is believed that the dispersion polymerization of vinyl acetate does not occur in micelles, but the monomer dissolved in water is first polymerized, and when the molecular weight reaches a certain level, the polymer precipitates from the water to form latex particles on the protective colloid. In order to improve the stability of the polymerization system and products, an appropriate amount of emulsifier is added in the dispersion polymerization of vinyl acetate, but the role of emulsifier in polymerization is auxiliary.   Attentions: PVA usually has two specifications of 1788 and 1799 (17 indicates a degree of polymerization of 1700, 88 and 99 indicate an alcoholysis degree of 88% and 99%, respectively). When used as a dispersion polymerization protective colloid, it is best to use 1788, and the resulting product has good stability.2. In the polymerization process, the monomer droplet acceleration should be slow and not fast. Generally, a slight reflux in the condenser is appropriate.3. The boiling point of vinyl acetate is between 70-75℃. After adding drops, the heating rate should be slow, too fast and easy to caking.   Website: www.elephchem.com Whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com   ElephChem Holding Limited, professional market expert in Polyvinyl Alcohol(PVA) and Vinyl Acetate–ethylene Copolymer Emulsion(VAE) with strong recognition and excellent plant facilities of international standards.
