polüvinüülatsetaadi

Polyvinyl acetate, often abbreviated as PVAc, is a synthetic polymer with the chemical formula (C4H6O2)n. It is a type of thermoplastic resin that is produced through the polymerization of vinyl acetate monomer. PVAc is a clear, colorless, and odorless solid in its pure form. It is known for its good adhesive properties, flexibility, and resistance to water and many chemicals, though it can be soluble in certain organic solvents.

The primary application of polyvinyl acetate is as a component in adhesives, particularly white glue, also known as school glue or wood glue. Its ability to form strong bonds with porous materials like wood, paper, and fabric makes it widely used in household, craft, and woodworking applications. PVAc emulsions are also found in paints and coatings, where they act as binders, improving adhesion and durability.

Another significant use of polyvinyl acetate is in the production of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) through hydrolysis. PVA itself has a range of applications, including in textiles, paper manufacturing, and as a thickening agent. PVAc is also utilized in the manufacture of certain types of packaging films and as a binder in non-woven fabrics. Its relatively low cost and versatile properties contribute to its widespread industrial and consumer use.
