Key Properties
Vinyl acetate monomer (for synthesis, acetoxyethylene, stabilized with hydroquinone) is one of the most important industrial monomers, essential to polyvinyl acetate/alcohol production. It is a colorless liquid with a sharp fruity odor, widely used in the production of adhesives, paints, and coatings. This compound is notable for its role in the synthesis of polymers that exhibit excellent adhesion properties and flexibility. Vinyl acetate is also utilized in the manufacture of various copolymers, enhancing the performance characteristics of the final products.
Also known as Acetoxyethylene.

- Substance
Vinyl acetate is a colorless liquid with a density of 0.93 g/mL at 20°C. It has a boiling point of approximately 72°C and a melting point of -93.5°C. The compound has a flash point of 13°C and is highly soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, while being less soluble in water. Its sharp fruity odor is characteristic of the compound, and it has a vapor pressure of about 80 mmHg at 20°C. Vinyl acetate is known to polymerize spontaneously if uninhibited, making its handling and storage critical.
