Compared to a styrene acrylic, the VAE technology has:
- A higher flexibility thanks to the ethylene monomer, though reduced for acrylic hybrid.
- A good adhesion on mineral substate (silanization)
- Improved water vapour transmission rate
What is the Tg of styrene acrylics?
The glass transition temperature (Tg) of styrene acrylic can vary depending on the specific formulation and composition of the polymer. Typically, styrene acrylic copolymers have a Tg range between 50°C to 100°C. However, the exact Tg value can be influenced by factors such as the ratio of styrene to acrylic monomers, molecular weight, and processing conditions.
what is the Tg of vinylacetate ethylene
The glass transition temperature (Tg) of vinyl acetate ethylene (VAE) copolymers can vary depending on the specific composition and molecular weight of the polymer. Generally, VAE copolymers have a Tg range between -20°C to 0°C. However, the exact Tg value can be influenced by factors such as the ratio of vinyl acetate to ethylene monomers, the molecular weight of the polymer, and the processing conditions used to prepare the material.
