Is vinyl same as rubber.

Vinyl adhesives are resin cements based on an emulsion of ethylene vinyl acetate eva or polyvinyl acetate pva. I believe that rubber is considered an upgrade and costs a little more. These vary widely in chemical structure and application and all of them synthetic except for natural. Find out more pros and cons to each on our site.

95 of jobs spec vinyl though. There are actually a large number of materials characterized as rubbers or more generally as elastomers. During the process both the substances are combined to form polyvinyl chloride resin which is what we call vinyl. Both filled and unfilled eva materials have good low temperature properties and are tough.

No vinyl is not rubber. It is a type of plastic that is made from ethylene and chlorine. These polymers are water based and therefore far more environmentally friendly than the solvent based rubber cements. Rubber and latex are not the same but many people use the words as if they both referred only to natural rubber which is the material derived from the milky white sap of rubber trees.
