Question:Is white latex a solvent-based adhesive?
Answer:No, it is not. White latex is a water-based adhesive.
Water-based adhesives refer to those that use water as the carrier medium. In addition to white latex, common examples include water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol construction adhesives.
Solvent-based (oil-based) adhesives refer to resin adhesives that use organic solvents as the carrier medium, such as toluene, butyl ester, and other solvents.
