Benzoates are high performance additives excellent alternative to phthalates, their low toxicity and aqueous dispersibility render these products particularly suitable in vinyl-acrylic emulsions for paper and wood waterborne adhesives. They increase viscosity and open-time, and thanks to their hydrophilic characteristics work such as emulsifiers, providing homogeneity between water and organic phases so increasing viscosity, flexibility and adhesion. Moreover, they comply the FDA legislation CFR 21:175 Adhesives.
