preparation method | 1. Acetic acid and acetylene addition preparation method (condition: zinc acetate as catalyst, 170-250 ℃) CHCH CH3COOH -->CH3COOCH = CH2 2. Direct oxidation of ethylene with acetic acid and oxygen (condition: palladium chloride, copper chloride as catalyst, heated and pressurized) 2C2H4 2CH3COOH O2 -->2CH3COOCH = CH2 2H2O |
toxicity | as a chewing gum, does not enter the human body, non-toxic. And because it is a polymer substance insoluble in water and oil, it cannot be absorbed by the human body. A caseous change in the liver and cardiac muscle cells was reported in rats after oral administration of 500mg/kg for 30 days. Safe for use in food (FDA,§ 172.615,2000). |
usage limit | GB 2760-96: Gum, emulsified flavor 60g/kg. GMP is a limitation (FDA,§ 181.30,2000). |
Use | for gum base material, China's provisions can be used for emulsified flavor and gum, the maximum use of 60g/kg. used in the manufacture of toy cashmere and non-woven fabrics used as raw materials for polyvinyl alcohol, vinyl acetate-Vinyl Chloride Copolymer, vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer, and also used in the preparation of coatings, adhesives, etc. Mainly used as coatings, adhesive, paper, chewing gum base and fabric finishing agent, can also be used as polyvinyl alcohol and Polyvinyl Acetal raw materials The basic gum base of gum sugar; Fruit film agent, can prevent water evaporation, play a role in preservation. The thermoplastic resin is a main raw material for preparing polyvinyl alcohol by hydrolysis into polyvinyl alcohol in an acid or alkaline solvent. When the photosensitizer is contained in the molecule, it is sensitive to light, and the decomposition reaction occurs under the action of ultraviolet light or electron beam, which has the characteristics of positive photosensitive resin. Polyvinyl acetate can be dissolved in a variety of organic solvents, can be copolymerized with a variety of monomers with double bonds, so as to introduce a variety of functional groups, with different properties. Often used as a binder. used as polyvinyl alcohol, vinyl acetate-Vinyl Chloride Copolymer, vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer of raw materials, coatings, adhesives, bubble gum, etc. |
production method | It is formed by polymerization of vinyl acetate in the presence of acetic acid, and the polymerization degree is preferably 250~600, traces of catalyst (usually peroxide), monomer and/or solvent remaining in the resin are removed by vacuum drying, steam stripping, washing or a combined treatment. In the presence of acetic acid, with benzoyl peroxide as initiator, vinyl acetate bulk polymerization; Or with polyvinyl alcohol as dispersant, solution polymerization is carried out in a solvent at 70-90 °c for 2-6h (the degree of polymerization is preferably controlled at 250-600) to obtain the product. |
