It has a characteristic odor. Vinyl acetate monomer is soluble in most organic solvents including chlorinated solvents , but is not soluble in water. Vinyl acetate monomer is easily polymerized with acrylate esters to produce polymers. It is inhibited with hydroquinone. VAM is produced by reacting ethylene with acetic acid and oxygen in the vapor phase using a catalyst. A simplified reaction equation appears below.

Polyvinyl acetate is used to produce paints, adhesives, coatings for flexible substrates and sizing for polyester fiber‐fill insulation textiles. Polyvinyl alcohol can be used to produce adhesives, coatings and water soluble packaging films. Polyvinyl acetals are used to produce insulation for magnetic wire, inter‐layers for safety glass, wash primers and coatings. Ethylene vinyl acetate co‐polymers are used to produce flexible films, coatings, adhesives, moldings and insulation. Ethylene vinyl alcohol can be used to produce gas barrier layers in co‐extruded packaging. About 83% of the VAM manufactured is used to produce polyvinyl acetate emulsions and resins. Polyvinyl acetates can be homopolymers (polymerized alone) or copolymers (polymerized with other monomers such as acrylate esters) to produce polymers for a wide variety of industrial and consumer products, including •

Emulsion polymers – for paints, coatings, adhesives and textiles. Adhesives made with VAM have excellent adhesion to a host of substrates, including metal, porcelain, wood and paper, and are more color stable than other adhesives and odor‐free. It is also widely used in water‐based coatings and latex paints. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) – for use in textiles, adhesives, paper sizing and fibers. www.samchemprasandha.com P a g e | 3 PT.

Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) polyethylene resins – for film, hot‐melt adhesives and wire and cable applications. Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) – for use as inter‐layers in safety glass for automotive and architectural applications. Ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) – to produce barrier films used in co‐extruded food packaging and automotive plastic fuel tanks. EVOH has excellent gas, odor, flavor and aroma barrier properties. Acrylic fibers / textile applications – for fabric treatments, pigments and adhesives. For example, to control shrinkage in polyester compounds and solution vinyl resins. Hazards TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS
PREVENTION FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING
Highly flammable. NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking. AFFF, alcohol‐resistant foam, powder, carbon dioxide. Vapour/air mixtures are explosive. Closed system, ventilation, explosion‐proof electrical equipment and lighting. Do NOT use compressed air for filling, discharging, or handling. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. EXPOSURE PREVENT GENERATION OF MISTS! Inhalation Cough. Shortness of breath. Sore throat. Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection. Fresh air, rest. Half‐upright position. Refer for medical attention. Redness. Blisters. Protective gloves. Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Redness. Pain. Minor burns. Safety goggles. First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor. Drowsiness. Headache. Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Rinse mouth. Give plenty of water to drink. Refer for medical attention. FIRE EXPLOSION Skin Eyes Ingestion www.samchemprasandha.com P a g e | 4 PT.
