[Introduction]

Bio-based Vinyl acetate monomer (Bio-VAM) is a clear, colorless liquid derived from renewable sources, such as sugar cane or waste materials. It is a significant intermediate used in producing various resins and polymers for paints, coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers. Bio-VAM readily copolymerizes with various monomers, imparting durability, strength, transparency, and elevated Tg to polymers.
