Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM)

Description

What is Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM)?

Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) is an essential industrial chemical with the molecular formula CH₃CO₂CH=CH₂. It is a colorless liquid with a sharp, pungent odor and is widely used as a building block for manufacturing polymers and resins. VAM is primarily used in the production of polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl alcohol, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, and polyvinyl acetals, which find applications in adhesives, coatings, packaging, and textiles.

As a highly versatile chemical, Vinyl Acetate Monomer plays a key role in the plastics, paints, adhesives, paper, and construction industries.
