Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- VAM
- Ethenyl Acetate
- Vinyl Acetate
Vinyl acetate monomer (VAM), also known as vinyl acetate or ethenyl acetate, is a clear, colourless liquid used as a chemical feedstock by polymer and formulation manufacturers. ChemTrade handles enquiries from Malaysian industrial buyers who need VAM matched to a defined grade, inhibitor condition and process specification.
Industrial VAM is normally supplied as an inhibited liquid. Buyers should state the required specification and any acceptable inhibitor details rather than treating every VAM grade as interchangeable, particularly where the material is charged to a controlled polymerisation process.
VAM is the monomer used to produce polyvinyl acetate, ethylene-vinyl acetate and other vinyl acetate copolymers. These polymers and emulsions then serve adhesive, paint, coating, paper, textile, nonwoven and construction applications, but they are distinct products and are not included on this monomer page.
Send the required grade or specification, quantity, delivery location and intended application with your enquiry. Availability, packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation.

Vinyl Acetate Monomer grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial vinyl acetate monomer | clear, colourless liquid | — | General industrial monomer for polymer and copolymer manufacture, including adhesive, coating and emulsion binder production. Confirm the required specification and inhibitor condition with the enquiry. | Confirmed with the quotation |
| VAM to an agreed inhibitor specification | clear, colourless inhibited liquid | — | Feedstock for controlled polymerisation into vinyl acetate polymers and copolymers. State the process specification and acceptable inhibitor details so the quoted material can be checked against the requirement. | Confirmed with the quotation |

Vinyl Acetate Monomer applications
Safety and handling
- Classification
- flammable, irritant
Vinyl acetate monomer is a flammable liquid normally supplied with inhibitor. Keep containers closed and follow the supplier's storage conditions, stated shelf life and safety data for the quoted grade. Keep away from ignition sources and incompatible materials.
Common questions about vinyl acetate monomer
Is vinyl acetate monomer the same as polyvinyl acetate or a VAM emulsion?
No. Vinyl acetate monomer is the liquid chemical feedstock. Polyvinyl acetate, vinyl acetate copolymers and formulated emulsions are polymer products made from VAM and require separate specifications and enquiries.
Why is vinyl acetate monomer supplied with inhibitor?
Commercial VAM is normally inhibited to help control unwanted polymerisation during storage and handling. The inhibitor system and condition should match the buyer's process requirements and are confirmed for the quoted grade.
Which details should I provide for a VAM quotation?
Send the required specification, inhibitor requirements, quantity, delivery location and intended application. If your process has limits for appearance, purity, water or other parameters, include the current specification sheet.
What is vinyl acetate monomer used to manufacture?
VAM is used to make polyvinyl acetate, ethylene-vinyl acetate and other copolymers. These materials are used in adhesives, emulsion paints, coatings, paper binders, textile finishes, nonwovens and construction formulations.
What packing and documents are available for vinyl acetate monomer?
Packing and documentation depend on the quoted material and commercial requirement. State the required quantity, receiving constraints and document needs so these can be confirmed with the quotation.
Can I request VAM for adhesive or emulsion production?
Yes. Describe the adhesive, coating or emulsion application and provide the required monomer specification. The enquiry can then be matched to an an appropriate inhibited industrial VAM specification.
