Properties
- VINNAPAS® 320 KR (ULS) is compatible with both fully and partially hydrolyzed poly (vinyl alcohol) and will show no separation when formulated with any poly (vinyl alcohol) type. The dispersion has very good water resistance which can be improved by the addition of fully hydrolyzed poly (vinyl alcohol).
- When it is necessary to compound an easy-to-clean adhesive, partially hydrolyzed poly (vinyl alcohol) may be added.
- VINNAPAS® 320 KR (ULS) has strong wet tack and rapid setting speed. The dispersion also maintains its wet tack for an extended period of time, making it very useful in many packaging applications.
- Plasticizers will thicken VINNAPAS® 320 KR (ULS) as well as improve its water resistance and setting speed. The excellent wet tack of VINNAPAS® 320 KR (ULS) can be improved by the addition of tackified poly(vinyl alcohols) which will not separate when mixed with the dispersion.
- VINNAPAS® 320 KR (ULS) has excellent mechanical stability and does not thin excessively in high-shear applicators. The dried resin has excellent heat resistance. Also it is below 1000ppm residual monomer contented product.
Application
- VINNAPAS® 320 KR (ULS) has excellent adhesion to a wide variety of packaging substrates including clay-coated paperboard, water-resistant craft paper and films.
- Its excellent mechanical stability, wet tack and rapid setting speed allow application by a variety of techniques including roll, spray and extrusion.
- It can be used in bookbinding, envelope back seams, padding, microwave applications, and craft glues.
- The excellent water resistance of VINNAPAS® 320 KR (ULS) makes it ideally suited for use in adhesives for cups, glue laps, composite cans, multiwall bags and beverage cartons.
- The dispersion can also be used to compound adhesives for bonding PVC to lauan plywood for decorative effects.

Storage & Handling
- Storage Information
- When the dispersion is stored in tanks, proper storage conditions must be maintained. The product has a shelf life of 9 months starting from the date of manufacture if stored in the original, unopened containers at temperatures between 5 and 30°C.
- Iron or galvanized-iron equipment and containers are not recommended because the dispersion is slightly acidic. Corrosion may result in discoloration of the dispersion or its blends when further processed.
- Therefore, the use of containers and equipment made of ceramics, rubberized or enameled materials, appropriately finished stainless steel, or plastic (e.g. rigid PVC, polyethylene or polyester resin) is recommended. As polymer dispersions may tend to superficial film formation, skins or lumps may form during storage or transportation. Filtration is therefore recommended prior to utilization of the product.
Preservation for Transport, Storage and further Processing
- The product is adequately preserved during transportation and storage if kept in the original, unopened containers. However, if it is transferred to storage tanks, the dispersion should be protected against microbial attack by adding a suitable preservative package.
- Measures should also be taken to ensure cleanliness of the tanks and pipes. In unstirred tanks, a layer of preservative-containing water should be sprayed onto the surface of the dispersion to prevent the formation of unwanted skin and possible attack by microorganisms. The thickness of this water layer should be <5 mm for low viscosity dispersions and up to 10-20 mm for high viscosity products.
- Proper procedures - periodic tank cleaning and sanitization - must be set up in order to prevent microbial attack. Contact your biocide representative/supplier for further plant hygiene recommendations. Measures should be taken to ensure that only clean air enters the tank when the dispersion is removed.
- Finished products manufactured from polymer dispersions usually also require preservation. The type and scope of preservation will depend on the raw materials used and the anticipated sources of contamination. The compatibility with other components and the efficacy of the preservative should always be tested in the respective formulation. Preservative manufacturers will be able to advise you about the type and dosage of preservative required. If the product is stored for a longer period, stirring is recomended before use.
