  Hot and cold water redispersible polyvinyl acetate adhesives - Patent 4251400
Polyvinyl acetate emulsions are commonly used in making multi-purpose adhesives; that is, adhesives which can be used to adhere such substrates as wood, paper, cloth, plastic and the like.
Briefly stated, the present invention comprises an aqueous emulsion of a polyvinyl acetate, an anti-coalescing agent consisting essentially of polyvinylpyrrolidone in an amount sufficient to prevent irreversible coalescence of the polyvinyl acetate, and non-volatile, water-soluble plasticizer for the anti-coalescing agent that is immiscible with the polyvinyl acetate.
The proportion of polyvinyl acetate to polyvinylpyrrolidone anti-coalescing agent is critical in that there must be at least an amount of anti-coalescing agent present to prevent irreversible coalescence of the polyvinyl acetate under hot and cold water washing.

 Polyvinyl acetate latex impregnated towelette - Patent 4343403
Polyvinyl alochols having a degree of hydrolysis above 99% are designated as "super hydrolyzed." Films produced from polyvinyl alcohol grades being a degree of hydrolysis above about 95% are resistant to attack by cold water; the extent of water resistance increasing directly with increase in the degree of hydrolysis.
The emulsion is prepared by emulsion polymerization of vinyl acetate alone or with ethylene at pressures substantially greater than atmospheric in the presence of 1 to 10 parts by weight polyvinyl alcohol, preferably 2 to 6 parts by weight, per 100 parts of emulsion as a protective colloid to stabilize the emulsion.
The polyvinyl alcohol or mixture of such polyvinyl alcohols is of the cold water soluble or at least cold water dispersible type of being less than 99% hydrolyzed, preferably 80-90% hydrolyzed polyvinyl acetate, and having a low to medium viscosity (4 to 30 cps.).

 EPA: Federal Register: Kuraray America, Inc.; Pesticide Tolerance Petition Filing
Polyvinyl acetate, carboxyl-modified, sodium salt is not manufactured or imported from monomers and/or other reactants that are not already included on the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory.
Polyvinyl acetate, carboxyl-modified, sodium salt is not a water- absorbing polymer, and therefore is not excluded from eligibility for the amended TSCA exemption.
In the case of the polyvinyl acetate, carboxyl-modified, sodium salt, the lack of expected toxicity of this substances based on its conformance to the definition of polymers as given in 40 CFR 723.250(b), as well as the criteria that identify low risk polymers, results in no expected cumulative effects.
