Poly(vinyl acetate)
Poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc), CAS 9003-20-7, with the linear formula [CH2CH(O2CCH3)]n, is a hydrophobic polymer known for its adhesive properties. It is widely utilised as a base for most types of glues, including common wood glues and white glues. PVAc also finds applications in paints, coatings, and textiles due to its film-forming capabilities and inert nature.
