An effort was made to determine the viscosity of 302 by weight solids vinyl acetate copolymer slurry. Based on tests using various methods to keep thg slurry in suspension, it is estimated that the viscosity is 15cp at 70 F.
Specific gravities at 25C were also obtained on homopolymer slurry as follows:
