Polymer dispersion adhesives, which are milky-white and often based on polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), are also known as:
Correct answer: C. emulsion adhesives
- A. rubber cement
- B. contact adhesives
- C. emulsion adhesives
- D. epoxy resins
Explanation
The correct answer is emulsion adhesives. These are often referred to as polymer dispersion adhesives and are typically based on polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), characterized by their milky-white appearance. Rubber cement and contact adhesives are solvent-based, while epoxy resins are thermosetting polymers, neither matching the description provided in the question.

About Industrial Chemistry
Industrial chemistry applies chemical reactions and material properties to the manufacture of adhesives, dyes and polymers. Coverage includes addition and condensation polymerisation, thermoplastics and thermosetting polymers, the structural basis of colour in dyes, and how adhesive composition enables bonding between surfaces.
