D ESCRIPTION
GELVA TS 100 is a vinyl acetate/acrylate copolymer emulsion supplied at 55% solids in water. Dried
films of TS 100 are clear, will not re-emulsify in water and exhibit excellent low temperature flexibility. TS
100 is used widely to formulate adhesives for non-porous, difficult to bond substrates such as glass, PVC,
metal foils and a variety of plastics including low surface energy types. It also works well on porous
substrates such as paper and wood and can be formulated to function as a heat-sealable adhesive.
