Vinyl Acetate Monomer, VAM acetic acid, vinyl ester; 1-acetoxyethylene
Vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) is a clear, colorless liquid with a slightly sweet and pungent odor. It’s comprised of a polymerizable vinyl functional group on one end and a reactive acetate group on the other end. It is slightly miscible with water, soluble in most organic solvents and has relatively low volatility. Its vapor is heavier than air. It copolymerizes readily with a wide variety of monomers. The added acetate group imparts properties such as durability, strength, transparency and an elevated Tg.

A Highly Versatile Polymerization Intermediate
Vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) is a significant intermediate used in the production of a wide range of resins and polymers for paints & coatings, adhesives, glues & sealants, elastomers, textile finishes, paper coatings, binders, films, and a myriad of other industrial and consumer applications.
Economical and environmental friendly
Kuraray Poval™ K grades have excellent solubility in water and alkali as well as affinity for hydrophobic substances. That makes these polyvinyl alcohols ideal for use in the paper industry, as dispersing agents and in the production of adhesives. Coatings with these PVA materials give paper far more effective barrier properties than conventional polyvinyl alcohol polymers. What’s more, they improve water resistance.
