Product discription:

Vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) is a colourless liquid, immiscible or slightly soluble in water. VAM is an essential chemical building block used in a wide variety of industrial and consumer products.

VAM is a key ingredient in emulsion polymers, resins, and intermediates used in paints, adhesives, coatings, textiles, wire and cable polyethylene compounds, laminated safety glass, packaging, automotive plastic fuel tanks, and acrylic fibres. Vinyl acetate is used to produce polyvinyl acetate emulsions and resins.

Main Characteristic of vinyl acetate:

1.Stable. Highly flammable. Incompatible with acids, bases,  oxidizing agents, peroxides, chlorosulfonic acid, ethylene imine,  hydrochloric acid, oleum, nitric acid, sulfuric acid,                                         

2-aminoethanol, light. Susceptible to polymerization; commercial product may be stabilized by the addition of hydroquinone.
