What is the difference between polyvinyl acetate and vinyl acetate?

Dec 28, 2025 Leave a message

CAS 108-05-4 Vinyl acetate, also known as vinyl acetate monomer or VAM, has a chemical formula of C4H4O2. This chemical is primarily used as a raw material in the production of other industrial chemicals. Some of these derivatives include polyvinyl acetate polymers and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers. Vinyl acetate and its derivatives are most widely recognized as components used to produce adhesives, but the applications don't stop there. Coatings, resins,films and other substances made with vinyl acetate are present in a range of industrial applications.

 

What is the difference between polyvinyl acetate and vinyl acetate?

 

Aspect Vinyl Acetate Polyvinyl Acetate (PVA)
