General description

This substance is listed on the positive list of the EU regulation 10/2011 for plastics intended to come into contact with food. Find all available reference materials for compounds listed in 10/2011 here
Vinyl acetate is an important ester of vinyl alcohol, which can find applications in the production of homo and copolymer dispersions. The production of vinyl acetate involves the addition of acetic acid to acetylene in the gas phase in the presence of zinc acetate/charcoal as catalyst.
