Abstract: Disclosed herein are D3 water-resistant adhesive compositions comprising aqueous copolymer dispersions and uses of such compositions. The compositions are useful as binders for porous and semi-porous substrates such as wood, paper, and/or board. Importantly, the adhesive compositions have very low formaldehyde content and little or no plasticizer content.

Abstract: A description is given of aqueous polyvinyl ester dispersions comprising a) at least one vinyl ester copolymer derived from at least one vinyl ester of a monocarboxylic acid, at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer containing N-alkylol groups and/or derivatives of N-alkylol groups, and, if desired, further comonomers, b) at least one protective colloid, c) at least one carboxylic acid and/or salt thereof, containing at least one further radical selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl, amino, carboxyl, carboxylic ester, and carboxylic amide radicals, and d) at least one water-soluble salt of a divalent metal ion. These dispersions are especially suitable for adhesively bonding porous or semiporous substrates, such as wood. Adhesive bonds of high strength and water resistance can be produced that do not exhibit discoloration. The dispersions can be used more particularly as veneer adhesives.

Abstract: Polyvinyl ester dispersions with low film formation temperature and high water resistance and use thereof What are described are polyvinyl ester dispersions having a minimum film formation temperature of less than or equal to 10° C. These comprise a crosslinkable polyvinyl ester dispersion and an ester of aliphatic monocarboxylic acids and at least trihydric aliphatic alcohols and/or an ester of at least tribasic aliphatic carboxylic acids and monohydric aliphatic alcohols as film formation assistants. These polyvinyl ester dispersions can be used as adhesives with high water resistance.
