CAS #9002-89-5
Vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) is a clear, colorless liquid with a slightly sweet and pungent odor, slightly miscible with water and soluble in most organic solvents. It is a significant intermediate used in producing various resins and polymers for paints, coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers. VAM homo-polymerizes efficiently to polyvinyl acetate (PVA) and is used in numerous random co- and terpolymers, creating a wide range of cost and performance profiles. It readily copolymerizes with various monomers, imparting durability, strength, transparency, and elevated Tg to polymers.
