Vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) is a significant intermediate used in the production of a wide range of resins and polymers for paints & coatings, adhesives, glues & sealants, elastomers, textile finishes, paper coatings, binders, films, and a myriad of other industrial and consumer applications. It efficiently homo-polymerizes to polyvinyl acetate (PVA), and VAM can be used in numerous random copolymers and terpolymers such as ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, vinyl-acrylic resins, vinyl acetate-acrylic acid copolymers, and vinyl acetate-vinyl chloride copolymers. With the wide diversity of the polymerization options, VAM has allowed the design of products with a wide spectrum of cost and performance profiles.

Usage of Polyvinyl Acetate
The largest end-use for VAM is in the production of polyvinyl acetate resins as a base for adhesives and coatings, as well as a feedstock for derivative resins like polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH). Polyvinyl acetate emulsions and resins are low in cost and convenient to use, and they have a wide application range. PVA is likely best known as the base component of household white glues used for bonding paper, fabrics, wood, and plastic.
A fast-growing use of VAM is the manufacture of vinyl acetate-ethylene (VAE) and ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers. As the VAM content increases in an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, crystallinity decreases and tensile properties decrease. However, flexibility, toughness and adhesive strength increase. At a level of 50 percent, EVAs are amorphous.
A wide variety of vinyl acrylic copolymer options are available. Vinyl acrylic emulsions are economical products that find extensive usage in interior architectural paints & caulks, adhesives & sealants, paper & textile binders, engineered fabrics, and pigment dispersions. Acrylic monomers like ethyl, butyl and 2-ethylhexyl acrylates enhance the performance of copolymers by improving flexibility, water resistance, adhesion, and scrub & stain resistance. Tre-monomers are also used like ethylene and acrylic acid in these systems.
