Description
A common name for milky white adhesives composed of aqueous emulsions of acetate polyvinyl acetate. White glues are widely used in homes, businesses and schools. They are easy to work with and effectively bond most materials, such as wood, paper, and fabric. Most white glues contain numerous additives, such as tackifiers, plasticizers, antifreeze solvents and biocide preservatives. In addition, the water-washable children's white glues contain partially hydrolyzed alcohol polyvinyl alcohol and glycol propylene glycol. Most white glues will soften when soaked in water and will yellow in sunlight.
