VAM

Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM)

Product Description

VINYLACETATE is a colourless, low-viscous, flammable liquid with an ester-like odour. It is miscible with a number of solvents, but not with water. The vapour is invisible and being heavier than air, it spreads out at floor level. VINYL ACETATE forms explosive mixtures with air.

Application areas:

VINYLACETATE used for copolymerization and terpolymerization with other monomers, like ethylene, vinyl chloride, acrylate, maleinate, fumarate, vinyllaurate.

VINYLACETATE is a chemical building block used to manufacture a wide variety of industrial and consumer products, including polyvinyl acetate used to produce paints, adhesives and coatings for flexible substrates; polyvinylalcohol used to produce adhesives, coatings and water soluble packaging films; polyvinyl acetals used to produce insulation for magnetic wire, interlayers for safety glass, wash primers and coatings; ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers used to produce flexible films, coatings, adhesives, moldings and insulation; and ethylene vinyl alcohol used to produce gas barrier layers in coextruded packaging.

Storage conditions:

VINYLACETATE must keep under nitrogen blanket and at ambient temperature. Grounding and bonding required. Protect from physical damage. Store outside or in a detached building. Store with flammable liquids. Keep separated from incompatible substances like acids, bases, metal oxides, amines, combustible materials and oxidizing materials. Store in a tightly closed container. Containers must have overpressure release device. Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources of ignition.

Packing:

Bulk or in 230 Lit (net: 200 Kg) new drums, each 4 drums strapped on a pallet.
