Polyvinyl Acetate (9003-20-7)

Vinyl acetate monomers are polymerized to create polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), a synthetic polymer with the formula [C4H6O2]. It is a thermoplastic substance that is colorless to white, odorless, and non-toxic. Because of its flexibility and excellent bonding capacity, PVAc is most commonly used as the primary ingredient in white glues, wood adhesives, and paper adhesives. It serves as a binder and film-forming agent in the paint and coatings sector. Additionally, PVAc is used in construction materials, textiles, and as a step in the process of making other polymers like polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). It is commonly used in commonplace products and is safe and stable.
