Product Description
Vinyl acetate , also known as ethyl acetate or vinyl acetate, is an important organic chemical raw material and synthetic monomer. Vinyl acetate is a colorless, transparent, flammable liquid with a fruity odor. It is a key monomer in the production of polymeric materials such as polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA). Vinyl acetate is primarily produced through the gas-phase oxidation reaction of ethylene and acetic acid in the presence of a palladium catalyst. Because it contains a reactive vinyl double bond, vinyl acetate readily undergoes polymerization under the influence of heat, light, or trace amounts of peroxides; therefore, commercial products typically contain polymerization inhibitors such as hydroquinone (HQ) to ensure storage stability.
