FAQ’S
What is Vinyl acetate monomer?
Vinyl acetate monomer is a colorless, flammable liquid with a pungent odor, and a key building block for various polymers and resins.
What are the properties and characteristics of Vinyl acetate monomer?
Vinyl acetate monomer is highly flammable, and its vapors can form explosive mixtures with air. It readily polymerizes to form Poly vinyl acetate. It is chemically unstable and can spontaneously polymerize under the influence of heat, peroxides, light, acids, and bases. It poses acute and chronic health hazards, causing irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract.
What are the uses of Vinyl acetate monomer?
Vinyl acetate monomer is a key ingredient in the production of Poly vinyl acetate, a water-soluble polymer used in adhesives (like wood glue and school glue), paper coatings, and textile treatments. It can be used in numerous random copolymers and terpolymers such as ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, vinyl-acrylic resins, vinyl acetate-acrylic acid copolymers, and vinyl acetate-vinyl chloride copolymers. Poly vinyl acetate and Ethylene vinyl acetate based adhesives are used in packaging, construction, and manufacturing. Vinyl acetate monomer-derived polymers are used in paints, paper coatings, and textile coatings. Poly vinyl acetate and other Vinyl acetate monomer-based polymers are used in textile treatments, warp sizing, and fabric finishes.
