CARBOWAX™ PEGs and MPEGs are often used in adhesives as plasticizers to increase lubricity and to impart a humectant quality to the adhesive to maintain wet-tack strength. Although water-soluble, PEG 300, 400 and 600 may be used in aqueous emulsions of polyvinyl acetate to produce water-resistant adhesives. Various pressure-sensitive adhesives, resinous binders and thermoplastic adhesives can be manufactured by combining PEGs with other compounds, such as amines, maleic anhydride or polyvinyl acetates.
