Characteristics 

Celvolit®1418 is an aqueous copolymer emulsion of  Vinyl acetate and ethylene. 

Stabilization System

PVOH 

General 

Celvolit®1418 has the feature of high viscosity responding with plasticizers and solvents. Celvolit®1418 is designed as a base for compounded adhesives that required high wet tack and fast setting properties.

It provides adhesion to a wide variety of substrates with a  strong and permanently bonding strength with high  heat resistance. 

Customers use product Celvolit®1418 in the following  applications: 

• Paper and converting adhesives 

• Woodworking adhesives  

• Textile lamination 

Why Celvolit® 1418

• Excellent water resistance 

• High wet tack 

• Fast setting 

• Compatible with a variety of plasticizers, solvents,  fillers and other modifiers

Guidelines for Preservation and storage 

Celvolit®1418 has a minimum shelf life of 6 months from the  ex-warehouse date in its original unopened packaging, provided the product is stored hygienically at temperatures between 5 and 35℃, avoiding frost and direct sunlight.  

The dispersion contains some initial biocides to impede  attack by microorganisms.  

In order to protect the product appropriately against microbiological attack after the first opening and storage thereafter  in opened drums, tanks or other storage facilities, please consider adding a suitable preservative. 

Furthermore, it must be ensured that already opened drums  and containers are always tightly closed. All tanks and pipework should be kept adequately clean.  

Skins or lumps can form during storage and transport of the  dispersion due to its film forming nature. A filtration or sieve  process is recommended before further processing. For bulk  storage, regular stirring is common practice.
