VINNEX® 2504 (PRC)

1 of 12 products in this brand
VINNEX® 2504 (PRC) is a vinyl acetate/ethylene copolymer powder that is known for its soft and flexible properties, thanks to its relatively high ethylene content. The resin has a glass transition temperature below the freezing point. This copolymer powder, consisting of vinyl acetate and ethylene, can be easily dispersed in water. Its flexibility is due to the higher ethylene content, and its glass transition temperature (Tg) is below the freezing point of water.
