Acetic acid ethenyl ester

Description:
Acetic acid ethenyl ester, commonly known as vinyl acetate, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C4H8O2. It is a colorless liquid with a sweet, fruity odor and is highly flammable. Vinyl acetate is primarily used in the production of polyvinyl acetate (PVA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), which are important in adhesives, paints, and coatings. The compound is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Its boiling point is relatively low, making it volatile, and it can polymerize under certain conditions, forming a solid polymer. Vinyl acetate is classified as a hazardous substance, with potential health effects including irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory system upon exposure. Due to its reactivity, it is important to handle vinyl acetate with care, using appropriate safety measures to prevent inhalation or skin contact. Overall, its unique properties make it a valuable intermediate in various industrial applications.
