Product description: VINNAPAS® EZ222 is a hydroxyethyl cellulose/surfactant stabilized vinyl acetate-ethylene (VAE) copolymer dispersion with a glass transition temperature (Tg) of +18.0°C. It was developed to offer excellent sprayability and clear, flexible, water resistant films. Properties: VINNAPAS® EZ222 offers good wet tack and speed of set and is fast drying. It has low thickening response to plasticizers and solvents. The hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) stabilization, low viscosity, high solids content, and excellent mechanical stability allow this product to have excellent sprayability. VINNAPAS® EZ222 exhibits good adhesion to polar and nonpolar surfaces. It also heat seals to paper and packaging films at lower temperatures than VINNAPAS® 400. The dried film is clear, flexible, and exhibits very good water resistance. VINNAPAS® EZ222 is manufactured without the use of any surfactants or defoamers that contain alkylphenol ethoxylates. Application: VINNAPAS® EZ222 has the ability to adhere to a wide variety of surfaces which makes it particularly well suited for many flocking, packaging and laminating applications. VINNAPAS® EZ222 can be used in adhesives to bond films such as polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, cellulose acetate, polystyrene, and cellophane to porous substrates. It can also be used to bond such widely diversified substrates as leather, paper, cloth (made from natural or synthetic fibers), urethane foam and many types of coated paperboard — notably SBR-coated board and acryliccoated board.
