Polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), the most widely used vinyl ester, is a synthetic resin prepared by the polymerization of vinyl acetate. Polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) is also known as the homopolymer of ethenyl acetate, vinyl acetate homopolymer, vinyl acetate polymer, and vinyl acetate resin. It is used as an intermediate in the conversion to polyvinyl alcohol and acetals. The principal use of PVAc is in adhesives for paper, wood, glass, metals, and porcelain. It is also used in latex water paints, as a coating for paper, for textile and leather finishing, as a base for inks and lacquers, in heat-sealing films, and in shatterproof photographic bulbs. Polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) has been used in pesticide formulations and pharmaceuticals and as an indirect food additive.
