APPLICATIONS
VINAVIL EVA 4612 is used to formulate interior and exterior emulsion paints, even at high PVC levels,
showing a very good wet scrub resistance. It can also be used to prepare wall textured coatings, satin
and gloss emulsion paints.
SPECIFIC PROPERTIES
The presence of ethylene in the VINAVIL EVA 4612 gives a low minimum film forming temperature,
even without coalescing agents. The amount of ethylene has been calculated to obtain both, a low value
of MFFT, and a low tackiness, with a good alkali resistance too.
The peculiar particle size distribution allows to obtain at the same time a high hiding power, and a high
white index.
VINAVIL EVA 4612 shows a pseudoplastic behaviour, that affect good application characteristics to
the emulsion paints based on it.
VINAVIL EVA 4612 is fully compatible with all the components used to prepare emulsion paints, in
particular with the organotitanates used as structuring agent for thixotropic paints.
Considering these features VINAVIL EVA 4612 has been specially designed for low VOC odourless
paints.
