Polüvinüülatsetaat

Polyvinyl acetate, often abbreviated as PVAc, is a synthetic polymer with the chemical formula (C4H6O2)n. It is a type of vinyl polymer and is produced through the polymerization of vinyl acetate monomer. PVAc is a thermoplastic, meaning it softens when heated and solidifies when cooled.

PVAc is a colorless, odorless, and relatively inexpensive material. It is known for its good adhesion properties, making it a key component in many adhesives. Its solubility varies depending on the solvent, but it is generally soluble in many organic solvents.

The primary application of polyvinyl acetate is in the production of white glue, also known as wood glue or school glue. These adhesives are water-based emulsions of PVAc particles. PVAc is also used in paints, coatings, textiles, and as a binder in paper. Its flexibility and film-forming capabilities contribute to its widespread use.

Polyvinyl acetate is a versatile polymer with a broad range of industrial and consumer applications due to its adhesive, binding, and film-forming characteristics.
