Ionic strength is underestimated factors in waterborne formulation stability. Unlike pH, it is not always measured directly, yet it strongly influences particle interactions. In EVA–PU systems, every formulation component contributes to ionic strength: neutralizers, dispersants, surfactants, preserv... read more
Blending order is frequently treated as a processing detail, but in waterborne polymer systems it is a fundamental stability parameter. This is especially true for EVA–anionic PU blends. When PU dispersion is added into EVA latex, the highly charged PU particles encounter a relatively weakly stabili... read more
In many waterborne formulations, pH adjustment is the tool used to address EVA–PU incompatibility. While pH control is important, relying on it alone often leads to short-lived success and delayed failures. Raising EVA latex pH from acidic to near-neutral conditions can reduce immediate instability... read more
Blending EVA latex with anionic polyurethane (PU) dispersions is widely used in waterborne adhesives, coatings, and impregnation systems. However, formulators often encounter instability issues such as flocculation, viscosity increase, or phase separation. While pH is frequently blamed, the root cau... read more
