- Application Details
- VINNAPAS® 760 ED is highly elastic and resistant to weathering even at low temperatures. It provides excellent anchorage on organic and inorganic substrates.
- The dispersion is therefore ideal for applications which require flexibility and good adhesion. Its excellent compatibility with cement makes VINNAPAS® 760 ED ideal for the modification of cementitious products.
- The dispersion can be used either as premix – containing e.g. stabilizer, antifoam agent and fillers – to which cement is added at the construction site, or as a 2-component system comprising, firstly, a premix of cement, additives and fillers, and secondly, the dispersion, which may need to be diluted.
- VINNAPAS® 760 ED is also ideal for introducing flexibility in cementitious tile adhesives. Furthermore, it can be used as a cementitious sealant adhesive. In pure dispersion based applications VINNAPAS® 760 ED can also be used for flexible (crack-bridging) coatings or adhesives. It is suitable as a flexible constituent for blending with less flexible dispersions.
Processing
VINNAPAS® 760 ED can be blended with most VINNAPAS® dispersions and many other aqueous polymer dispersions in any ratio. When blending, it is important to adjust the pH of both dispersions which are to be blended in a pH range in which both dispersions are stable. Storage tests should be carried out to check the compatibility of the mixture.

- Properties
- VINNAPAS® 760 ED is a medium particle size, high solids content (59% ± 1%) vinyl acetate - ethylene - vinyl ester dispersion stabilized with surfactants.
- VINNAPAS® 760 ED is a modifying resin which can be used in hydraulically setting compounds to introduce flexibility and adhesion.
- Thus, flexible adhesives and water proofing membranes are the selected applications; it can also be used as the sole binder in (crack-bridging) coatings and adhesives.
- VINNAPAS® 760 ED combines high solids content with excellent flexibility and excellent compatibility with inorganic binders as ordinary Portland cement and high alumina cement; due to its high solids content VINNAPAS® 760 ED allows a broad range of polymer to cement ratios in hydraulic setting compounds.

Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 6 Months
- Storage Information
- When the dispersion is stored in tanks, proper storage conditions must be maintained. The product has a shelf life of 6 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.
