Vinyl Acetate, also known as Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM), is a critical Polymer Building Block for the global adhesive and coatings industry. It is provided in Industrial Grade at 99.9% Purity, stabilized with HQ or MEHQ inhibitors.
As a colorless, flammable liquid, it is the primary precursor for Polyvinyl Acetate (PVA) and Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA) copolymers. It offers excellent Adhesive Properties and film-forming capabilities, making it indispensable for wood glues and packaging materials.
VAM is highly reactive and easily copolymerizes with various monomers to produce resins with targeted flexibility and chemical resistance. Its role in Water-Based Emulsions is vital for the development of eco-friendly paints and textile finishes.
SoleChem, an ISO 9001:2015 certified chemical supplier based in Türkiye, delivers Vinyl Acetate (CAS 108-05-4) to customers in more than 40 countries.
