Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) is used in the production of polymer emulsions and resins of various types including Vinyl acetate homopolymers, Vinyl Acetate/Ethylene (VAE) and Ethylene/Vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers as well as the production of Polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) and Ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH).
Vinyl Acetate polymer is an essential chemical building block used to manufacture a variety of consumer and industrial products.
What is Vinyl Acetate?Vinyl Acetate is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor and can be polymerized in mass, solution, suspension, or emulsion.
Why Vinyl Acetate?VAM is the key raw material used in the production of polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), vinyl acetate ethylene (VAE) emulsions and polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), a precursor to PvB films. VAM is also used to make ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) resins and ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers (EVA). Main end uses include paints & coatings, adhesives, building & construction, paper coatings, textile finishes, films and other industrial and consumer applications.
