Elvace® 725
1 of 19 products in this brandElvace® 725 is a vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer known for forming tough, permanently flexible polymer films. It offers excellent viscosity build with plasticizer addition, high wet tack, and resistance to hydrolysis. With low residual vinyl acetate monomer levels and good adhesion to challenging substrates, it is suitable for extrusion applications. Designed for low VOC adhesives, it works well on various paper and treated film substrates.
