CEH: Polyvinyl Acetate

Dec 2020. Polyvinyl acetate includes all homopolymers and copolymers where the vinyl acetate content is at least 50%. About 80% of total consumption is used in wood, construction and paper adhesives, and architectural coatings. Most of the remaining polymers are used in paper and textile coatings. Almost all of these polymers are made in emulsion form. Copolymers generally consist of 80–90% vinyl acetate and 10–20% butyl acrylate, ethylene, vinyl versatate, or some other modifier. Generally, uses are well established and consumption trends mirror those of GNP. In North America and Western Europe, consumption is expected to grow by about 2% per year during 2020–25. Consumption in Asia is expected to grow by 3.5–4% annually.
