Vinyl Acetate Monomer

Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM), with the chemical formula C₄H₆O₂, is one of the most important vinyl monomers. It appears as a colorless transparent liquid with a sweet, fruity pungent odor. It is highly reactive and can form various polymers through homopolymerization or copolymerization. VAM is a key raw material for producing polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) and ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers, widely used in adhesives, coatings, textiles, paper and other fields.
