[Sell] [Chemicals] Vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) is a colorless liquid used as a key building block for producing polymers like polyvinyl acetate (PVA), which is found in adhesives and paints. It is a reactive substance that polymerizes easily, and its use is widespread in manufacturing coatings, glues, textiles, and various copolymers such as ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA). Due to its flammability and potential health hazards, it is handled with care and is often stabilized with hydroquinone. Chemical properties and safety Appearance: A colorless liquid with a pungent or sweet odor.Formula: \(C_{4}H_{6}O_{2}\) or \(CH_{3}COOCH=CH_{2}\).Reactivity: Polymerizes easily under heat and light and reacts with strong oxidants, acids, and bases. It is typically stabilized with hydroquinone to prevent premature polymerization.Flammability: Highly flammable with a flash point of \(-8^{\circ }C\).Hazards: Vapors are heavier than air and can travel to a distant ignition source. Inhalation can cause irritation, and at high concentrations, it can lead to more severe respiratory issues. It is also considered hazardous to water.
