Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM)
Vinyl acetate or vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) is primarily used in the production of other chemicals used in various industrial and consumer product applications. VAM-based polymers, including vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, polyvinyl acetate (PVA), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), are used in a variety of applications.

Uses & Benefits
VAM-based polymers, including vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, polyvinyl acetate (PVA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), are used in a variety of applications.
When polymers are made using VAM, the vinyl acetate used in their manufacture is completely consumed, which means that there is only residual if any potential exposure to VAM itself in these products.
