Is vinyl acetate monomer hazardous?

Yes, vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) is hazardous.

 

Flammability: Very flammable liquid. Vapour can form explosive mixtures with air.

 

Health risks: VAM vapour and liquid are irritants to the respiratory tract, skin and eyes. Acute, high-level exposure can cause CNS symptoms such as dizziness and nausea.

 

Handling risks: Spills can lead to slip hazards. Improper storage (e.g. near oxidisers or heat sources) can trigger fires or explosions.

 

Vinyl Acetate VAM Handling and Storage

Safe Handling Practices: Ground all containers for transfer; use equipment designed for flammable liquids; avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing; ensure good ventilation
 

Storage Requirements: Store in tightly closed, properly labeled containers, away from heat sources and direct sunlight; use in areas with vapor-proof electrical fixtures; keep away from oxidizing agents, acids, and bases
 

Packaging Materials: Steel drums with polymerization inhibitor lining, or approved plastic containers
