Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the product is declared as a polymer dispersion, not as a finished adhesive, unless it contains additives that make it a prepared adhesive
• Confirm that vinyl acetate monomer units contribute 95% or more by weight of the polymer content
• If ethylene content is significant, verify that vinyl acetate still predominates
