What is Vinyl Acetate ?

Vinyl acetate is the main raw material for the manufacture of synthetic fiber vinylon.Vinyl acetate is polymerized by itself or copolymerized with sub-monomers to obtain polyvinyl alcohol, vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer (EVA), vinyl acetate-vinyl chloride copolymer (EVC), vinyl acetate-acrylonitrile fiber, vinyl acetate-Acrylate copolymers, which have important industrial uses, widely used as adhesives, architectural coatings, textile sizing and finishing agents, paper strengthening agents, and in the manufacture of safety glass, etc.Vinyl acetate reacts with ethanol and bromine to obtain bromoacetaldehyde diethyl acetal.This is an intermediate for the drug methimazole.For resin fiber synthesis, it is also used as intermediate and binder of oil pour point depressant and thickener.
