Sinopec Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) refers to a chemical product produced and marketed by Sinopec, which stands for China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation. Sinopec is one of the largest integrated energy and chemical companies in China and the world.

Vinyl Acetate Monomer is a key building block in the chemical industry and is primarily used in the production of various polymers and resins. One of its most common applications is in the production of polyvinyl acetate (PVA), which is a type of adhesive used in many industries, including construction, woodworking, and paper packaging. PVA is also the main component in many white glues and wood glues.

Other applications of Vinyl Acetate Monomer include the production of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers, which are used in the manufacturing of flexible films, hot-melt adhesives, and foam products. Additionally, VAM can be used in the production of other specialty resins, coatings, and textiles.

Chemical companies like Sinopec produce and sell Vinyl Acetate Monomer as a raw material to various downstream industries that use it as a building block in their own manufacturing processes.
