Vinyl acetate-based polymers are extremely versatile for use in a vareity of manufacturing applications, but are most commonly used in the industrial supply industry. Originating from vinyl acetate monomers, they undergo emulsion polymerization to help formulate synthetic rubber, paints, adhesives, paper coatings, construction supply additives, and nonwovens. Today, they are most commonly used in the formulation of adhesives and coatings.
