Scope

1.1 This specification covers polyvinyl acetate or polyvinyl acetate copolymer resin emulsion adhesives suitable for use on wood, wood-based substrates, or plastic laminates. It does not cover the group of polyvinyl-based adhesives which are suitable for bonding flexible films.

1.2 The adhesives are classified at three performance levels in accordance with water-resistance as shown in Table 1 and Table 2. See Section 5 for a description of the expected exposure conditions for each class of adhesive. See Table X1.1 for a classification of typical end products that are manufactured using adhesives at the three performance levels covered by this specification.

(A) Or 408201;% of dry value at 75°F (24°C), whichever is larger.

(B) Testing and certification for freeze-thaw stability is optional. To classify a test adhesive as freeze-thaw stable, test an initial lot of the adhesive brand in accordance with 6.2 and 10.3.3.7.

(C) Testing of an initial lot of the adhesive brand in accordance with 6.3 and 10.3.3.8 is required.

(A) See Table8201;9 in Interim Voluntary Product Standard for Hardwood and Decorative Plywood, HP-1, 1993.
