Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM)
Vinyl Acetate is a clear, colorless liquid with a faint ether-like odor. It is only sparingly soluble in water but readily soluble in many organic solvents such as ethyl acetate and ethanol. It is a highly flammable liquid. In the presence of water, it forms an azeotrope, which boils at 66 °C under atmospheric pressure, that contains 92.7 % Vinyl Acetate.
