POLIVA GR-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 GR-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 GR-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 GR-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 GR-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. GENERAL COMMENTS: In addition to high wet scrub resistance POLIVA GR-55 also confers slight improvements to opacity and whiteness compared to styrene acrylic binders. POLIVA GR-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.
