Abstract
A two-part aqueous-based adhesive suitable for dry-bonding a polyether urethane foam to a rigid or semi-rigid substrate consists essentially of (a) an aqueous latex of an anionic emulsion polymer having a Tg of 0.degree. C. or below, preferably -5.degree. to -30.degree. C., an effective amount of a diepoxide or polyepoxide curing agent, and optionally, but preferably, an effective amount of a fugitive plasticizer. The polymer consists essentially of about 10-30% ethylene, 40 to 80% of vinyl acetate, 5-35% of a C.sub.4 -C.sub.8 -dialkyl maleate, and 4-10% of an ethylenically unsaturated acid monomer (e.g., acrylic acid). Suitable substrates include styrene board and fiberglass board.
