POLIVA EP-55 is a medium particle size dispersion of vinyl acetate /veova copolymer emulsion, which is designed for use in a wide variety of decorative paints and surfaces finishing . Paints based on POLIVA EP-55 have improved wet scrub resistance, exterior durability and alkali resistance. In addition they are marked by excellent flow and outstanding stability over long storage time. POLIVA EP-55 has in general very high compounding stability and may be blended with dry pigments and extenders in the formulation of high build coatings.

- Formulating Notes
- COALESCING SOLVENTS All conventional coalescent solvents could be used successfully with POLIVA EP-55 though the optimum level will vary for each solvent. The level of coalescent included has a marked influence on the scrub resistance of the system. It is considered essential to allow sufficient conditioning time before testing since any solvent retained in the film may create a misleading impression of wet abrasion resistance and consequently resin binding power.
- THICKENERS
- Traditional thickening agents may be used for viscosity modification of paints based on POLIVA EP-55, like HEC, urethanes or acrylic thickeners.
- PIGMENTS
- The choice of titanium dioxide is apparently unrestricted since various grades, both heavily-coated and general purpose, performed to a similar degree in terms of scrub resistance.
- MISCELLANEOUS ADDITIVES
- POLIVA EP-55 systems are compatible with all generally available bactericides, fungicides and defamers and these additives should incorporate as the individual system requires.
- GENERAL COMMENTS
- In addition to high wet scrub resistance POLIVA EP-55 also confers slight improvements to opacity and whiteness compared to styrene acrylic binders. POLIVA EP-55 characterized by UV and alkali resistance so there is no risk in using it with high PVC paints or in outdoors applications.
- Please stir well before use.
- Recommended Applications
- High quality, general purpose paints .
- Semi gloss interior paints .
- Durable paints for exterior masonry .
- Low cost, highly extended interior paints.
