A common name for milky white adhesives composed of aqueous emulsions of polyvinyl acetate. White glues are widely used. They are easy to work with and effectively bond most materials. Most white glues contain numerous additives, such as tackifiers, plasticisers, antifreeze solvents and biocide preservatives. Most white glues will soften when soaked in water and will yellow in sunlight. Synonyms: CM Bond®; Titebond; Rhoplex® N-580; Elmer's® Glue-All [Borden]; Bulldog Grip®.
