Is vinyl acetate monomer (VAM chemical) hazardous?

Dec 29, 2025 Leave a message

CAS 108-05-4 Vinyl acetate monomer (VAM chemical) is an important chemical intermediate indispensable in the production of an extensive range of consumer and industrial commodities. It is involved in the complex value chains of various feedstock materials, intermediates, derivatives, and end-products

 

The largest end-use for VAM chemical 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.
