Recycling codes are used to identify the materials out of which the item is made, to facilitate easier recycling process. The presence on an item of a recycling code, a chasing arrows logo, or a resin code , is not an automatic indicator that a material is recyclable; it is an explanation of what the item is made of.
Vinyl acetate is the acetate ester of vinyl alcohol. Since vinyl alcohol is highly unstable (with respect to acetaldehyde), the preparation of vinyl acetate is more complex than the synthesis of other acetate esters. The major industrial route involves the reaction of ethylene and acetic acid with oxygen in the presence of a palladium catalyst. [6]
The vinyl acetate monomer content is about 18–29 percent by weight of the polymer. High amounts of tackifiers and waxes are often used; an example composition is 30–40% of EVA copolymer (provides strength and toughness), 30–40% of tackifier resin (improves wetting and tack), 20–30% of wax (usually paraffin-based; reduces viscosity ...
Vinyl ester refers to esters formally derived from vinyl alcohol. Commercially important examples of these monomers are vinyl acetate , vinyl propionate , and vinyl laurate . [ 1 ]
Polyvinyl acetate was discovered in Germany in 1912 by Fritz Klatte. [3] The monomer, vinyl acetate, was first produced on an industrial scale by the addition of acetic acid to acetylene with a mercury(I) salt, [4] but it is now primarily made by palladium-catalyzed oxidative addition of acetic acid to ethylene.
