Considering the different types of PVA glue, is
PVA (Jade 403) considered one of the better archival types?

>Dear Cal:

>I offer a little bit of info regarding Polyvinyl Acetate Adhesive
>(PVA) from a bookbinding prospective.

>Some are better, in an archival sense, than others.

>Specifically, these would be "emulsion copolymers of internally
>plasticized polyvinyl acetate adhesives that are flexible and will
>not cross link after long term aging". Most of these types of
>adhesives are considered non acidic or pH neutral.
