108-05-4 - Preparation Method
Open Data Verified Data
There are several different raw materials such as acetylene method, ethylene method, acetaldehyde acetic anhydride and so on. Ethylene raw material route according to different process and ethylene gas phase method, ethylene liquid phase method and other different methods.
- The acetylene method uses zinc acetate supported on activated carbon as a catalyst, and acetylene is reacted with acetic acid at 170 to 230 ° C. Under normal pressure. The reaction product was purified vinyl acetate by powder separation, gas separation, aldehyde removal, crude distillation and distillation.
- ethylene gas phase method ethylene, oxygen and acetic acid in the presence of palladium gold (or platinum) catalyst, at 160~180 ℃,
- ethylene liquid phase method ethylene and acetic acid are reacted with palladium chloride and copper chloride as a catalyst to obtain vinyl acetate.
- acetaldehyde acetic anhydride method using acetaldehyde acetic anhydride as raw material, the first synthesis of ethylene diacetic acid, and then deacetic acid reaction, by one step or two step synthesis.

108-05-4 - Safety
Open Data Verified Data
- the toxicity of vinyl acetate was low, and the oral LD50 of rats was 2920mg/kg. There are narcotic and stimulating effects, high concentrations of vapor can cause nasal inflammation, red eyes appear. Long-term contact with the skin may produce dermatitis.
- The operating site should be well ventilated, and the operators should be equipped with protective equipment. Immediately after skin contact, wash with soap and water and apply emollients.
- iron drum packaging or tank car in bulk. Storage should be cool and ventilated, fire, sun protection, according to the provisions of flammable and toxic substances storage and transportation.

| Use | vinyl acetate is the main raw material for the manufacture of synthetic fiber vinylon. Polyvinyl alcohol, vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer (EVA), vinyl acetate-Vinyl Chloride Copolymer (EVC), vinyl acetate-acrylonitrile fiber can be obtained by self-polymerization of vinyl acetate or copolymerization with monomer, vinyl Acetate-acrylate copolymers, which have important industrial applications, are widely used as binders, architectural coatings, textile sizing and finishing agents, paper reinforcing agents, and in the manufacture of safety glass. Diethyl bromoacetaldehyde acetal was prepared by the reaction of vinyl acetate with ethanol and bromine. This is an intermediate of the drug methimazole. commonly used intermediates for the production of polyvinyl alcohol, coatings and adhesives. used in organic synthesis used in resin fiber synthesis, also used as intermediate and adhesive of oil-based pour point thickening agent |
