Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) is a colourless, low-viscous, flammable liquid with an ester-like odour. It is miscible with a number of solvents, but not with water. The vapour is invisible and being heavier than air, it spreads out at floor level. Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) forms explosive mixtures with air.

VINYLACETATE used for copolymerization and terpolymerization with other monomers, like ethylene, vinyl chloride, acrylate, maleinate, fumarate, vinyllaurate. Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) is a chemical building block used to manufacture a wide variety of industrial and consumer products, including polyvinyl acetate used to produce paints, adhesives and coatings for flexible substrates polyvinylalcohol used to produce adhesives, coatings and water-soluble packaging films; polyvinyl acetals used to produce insulation for magnetic wire, interlayers for safety glass, wash primers and coatings; ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers used to produce flexible films, coatings, adhesives, moldings and insulation; and ethylene vinyl alcohol used to produce gas barrier layers in coextruded packaging:
