POLYMERS FOR INDUSTRY - vinavil

VINAVIL products are exclusively aqueous dispersions orsolids. The dispersions are a homogeneous distribution ofpolymer particles in water with different chemical composition.The solids are made of vinylic polymers or copolymers in formof bulk, flake, powder, bead, pearl and pastille.EIGHT MAJORPRODUCT LINESDispersion and/or modified and/or plasticised homopolymerspackaging and joinery industriesIn the area of vinyl-acetatehomopolymers, Vinavil offers a vastarray of products used mainly asindustrial raw materials. Differentin solid content and viscosity, thediverse formulations of these productsare appropriate for each specificapplication: from textile finishes,requiring fluid products to be sprayed,to carton packaging adhesives to bemachine spread and wood adhesivesto be applied by brush.Dispersion vinyl-versaticcopolymerscoating binders.Vinyl-versatic copolymers are used inthe wall coating industry. The individualproducts in this line are designed tohave specific features from which thedifferent formulations used in the paintand coating segment can be obtained.Vinyl-ethylene copolymerdispersionswood with plastic materialsVinyl-ethylene copolymers are used in avariety of sectors.Vinavil offers a range of adhesiveswith different characteristics for eachapplication. Our product range alsoincludes dispersions for low-VOC waterbasedpaints as well as cross-linkableproducts for the textile industry, designedfor various applications (syntheticwadding, bound materials, pigmentprinting, woven non-woven etc.).Vinyl-acetate polymersfor the food industrychewing-gumOur products for the food industryconsist of two types: solids (withdifferent molecular weight according tothe customers’ specific requirements),used as binders for chewing-gum bases,and dispersions used for hard cheesecoatings. In the latter area, innovativevinyl-ethylene and acrylic products arealso being developed.Ravenna plant.Left.
