Poly(vinyl acetate) (CAT: R070198) is a widely used synthetic polymer produced by the polymerization of vinyl acetate monomers. Known for its strong adhesive, film-forming, and binding properties, PVAc is a cornerstone material in coatings, adhesives, paints, and sealants. In research, it serves as a model system for studying polymerization mechanisms, colloid stability, and emulsion technology. Its compatibility with other polymers and plasticizers enables the development of copolymers and blends with tailored mechanical and thermal properties. Additionally, PVAc is explored in biomedical applications, including drug delivery systems and biodegradable materials, making it versatile in both industrial and academic research.
