VAM is a key ingredient used in the manufacture of a wide range of emulsion polymers such as polyvinyl acetate, and also in intermediates which are used in paints, adhesives, printing inks, coatings and textiles. It is also used to manufacture ethylene vinyl acetate which is an elastomeric copolymer with a wide range of important applications (see IPC).
