Rovene 7005 is a non-plasticized aqueous milky white dispersion of a vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer with high solid contents developed to provide a versatile base for construction application. Rovene 7005 forms a flexible film with best adhesive properties for broad applications. Rovene 7005 exhibits typical vinyl acetate-ethylene adhesion to polar and non-polar surfaces. It also provides the flexibility of film at the low temperature and good creep resistance against high temperature. Rovene 7005 also possesses excellent compatibility with other emulsions because it is stabilized with HEC. It is also compatible with most plasticizers, thickeners and additives used for vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer bases. Good machine ability and higher filler loading capabilities offer high loadings of such fillers as calcium carbonate and clay without appreciably changing the viscosity.
Rovene 7005 is a suitable emulsion used for construction applications, as well as general adhesives for relatively hard substrates. Typical applications for Rovene 7005 emulsion are as follows:
- Joint compounds and decorative coatings
- High filler loading plaster
- Carpet back coatings
Rovene 7005 is a general purpose copolymer emulsion that can be used in the adhesive applications but especially for the improvement of all kinds of mineral bound building materials.
