Vinyl Acetate Monomers

Vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) is a colorless liquid that is used in the production of a variety of polymers and resins. VAM is primarily used in the production of polyvinyl acetate (PVA), which is used in a wide range of applications such as adhesives, coatings, and textiles. VAM is produced through the reaction of acetic acid with ethylene in the presence of a catalyst. The resulting VAM is purified through a distillation process to remove impurities and achieve the desired purity. Evonik offers high efficient catalyst for the VAM production
