CHEMICAL PRODUCT
- VINYLACETATE is a colourless, low-viscous, flammable liquid with an ester-like odour. It is miscible with a number of solvents, but not with water. The vapour is invisible and being heavier than air,it spreads out at floor level.VINYL ACETATE forms explosive mixtures with air.
Application areas:
- VINYLACETATE used for copolymerization and terpolymerization with other monomers, like ethylene, vinyl chloride, acrylate, maleinate, fumarate,vinyllaurate.
- VINYLACETATE is a chemical building block used to manufacture a wide variety of industrial and consumer products, including polyvinyl acetate used to produce paints, adhesives and coatings for flexible substrates;polyvinylalcohol used to produce adhesives, coatings and water soluble packaging films; polyvinyl acetals used to produce insulation for magnetic wire, interlayers for safety glass, washprimers and coatings; ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers used to produce flexible films, coatings, adhesives,moldings and insulation; and ethylene vinyl alcohol used to produce gas barrier layers in coextruded packaging.
Storage conditions:
- VINYLACETATE must keep under nitrogen blanket and at ambient temperature.Grounding and bonding required. Protect from physical damage. Store outside or in a detached building. Store with flammable liquids. Keep separated from incompatible substances likeacids, bases, metal oxides,amines, combustible materials and oxidizing materials. Store in a tightly closed container. Containers must have overpressure release device. Avoid heat,flames, sparks and other sources of ignition.
Packing:
- Bulk or in 230 Lit (net: 200 Kg) new drums, each 4 drums strapped on a pallet
