Flexibond Vinyl Acetate Ethylene (VAE) is a high-performance, water-based adhesive known for its strong bonding capability and resistance to water, heat, and chemicals. Made from a specialised polymer blend of vinyl acetate and ethylene, it is well suited to applications that require a durable and reliable bond, including woodworking, furniture manufacture, and paperboard lamination. Environmentally Friendly and Safe. Flexibond is an environmentally responsible adhesive with low volatile organic compound (VOC) content and a reduced carbon footprint. It is non-toxic and odourless, making it suitable for indoor use. Exceptional Performance. Produced through the copolymerisation of vinyl acetate and ethylene, Flexibond delivers a combination of performance benefits:. Moisture Resistance: Performs reliably in low-temperature and damp conditions. Flexibility: Retains flexibility without the need for added plasticisers. Enhanced Tack and Adhesion: Bonds effectively to non-porous surfaces such as vinyl, aluminium, and glass. Versatile Applications. Flexibond copolymers act as effective polymer binders for paper and packaging applications and meet a wide range of requirements within the adhesives industry. The balance between rigid, hydrophilic vinyl acetate and soft, hydrophobic ethylene components results in strong adhesion to multiple substrates with minimal migration. Innovative Chemistry. The ethylene component functions as an internal plasticiser, providing permanent flexibility and softness. This enhances adhesive performance without the need for additional plasticisers. Flexibond provides a reliable, versatile, and environmentally conscious adhesive solution that meets high standards of performance and safety.
