A colorless, nontoxic thermoplastic resin prepared by the polymerization of vinyl acetate. Polyvinyl acetate (PVAC) was discovered in 1912 by Dr. Fritz Klatte in Germany. It is one of the most widely used water-dispersed resins. Polyvinyl acetate water-based emulsions have been used as latex house paints, artists' media (since 1945), and common household white glues. Setting is accomplished by the removal of water due to evaporation or absorption into a substrate. PVAC resins produce clear, hard films that have good weather resistance and withstand water, grease, oil, and petroleum fuels. Additional properties are high initial tack, almost invisible bond line, softening at 30-45C, good biodegradation resistance, poor resistance to creep under load, and low cost. Polyvinyl acetate resins and copolymers are also used as hot-melt adhesives, sealants, fabric finishing, plastic wood, and inks.

Description

A white, nontoxic thermoplastic resin prepared by the polymerization of vinyl acetate[1]. Polyvinyl acetate (PVAC) was discovered in 1912 by Dr. Fritz Klatte in Germany. It is one of the most widely used water-dispersed resins. Polyvinyl acetate water-based emulsions is often applied as a liquid that hardens to a solid when the water evaporates. PVAC resins produce clear, hard films that have good weather resistance and withstand water, grease, oil, and petroleum fuels. Additional properties are high initial tack, almost invisible bond line, softening at 30-45C, good biodegradation resistance, poor resistance to creep under load, and low cost.

Personal Risks

The polymer is generally safe for handling. The pH of aqueous emulsions is usually acidic. The vinyl acetate monomer is flammable and reactive and is on the Special Health Hazardous Substance List[2].

Fisher Scientific: MSDS

Collection Risks

May release Acetic acid on curing, aging and deterioration. Susceptible to hydrolysis which can increase the amount of acid released as well as interfere with the adhesive function of the material. The amounts of acid released are variable and depend on the formulation.

Environmental Risks

The monomer is flammable but the polymer is generally considered stable.

Physical and Chemical Properties

  • Soluble in benzene, chloroform, methanol, acetone, butyl acetate.
  • Insoluble in ligroin, diethyl ether, butanol, turpentine, water, oils.
  • Can absorb 3-5% water when immersed for 16 hours at 60 C.
  • Burns with a dark yellow flame that smells of acetic acid.
  • Composition : [-CH2CH(OOCCH3)-]n
  • CAS : 9003-20-7
  • Melting Point (Tg) = 30-45
  • Density = 1.17-1.20
  • Refractive Index = 1.46-1.47
