Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Copolymer Synthesis

Ethylene vinyl acetate eva also known as poly ethylene vinyl acetate peva is the copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate the weight percent of vinyl acetate usually varies from 10 to 40 with the remainder being ethylene.

Ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer synthesis.

Ethylene vinyl acetate eva copolymers ethylene vinyl acetates are leading polymers for hot melt manufacturing due to their high versatility. Ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers evas with low dispersities and ethylene content reaching 57 mol are notably reported. Before proceeding with drug incorporation evac must be washed in absolute ethyl alcohol to extract its inflammatory impurities mainly the antioxidant butylhydroxytoluene bht. The food and drug administration fda has stated that ethylene vinyl acetate is safe when used in food production packaging or transportation and it s not an especially dangerous material.

This work also successfully addresses the precision design of eva containing block copolymers i e. Copolymer of vinyl chloride vinyl acetate and vinyl alcohol cas number. 8 10 ethylene vinyl acetate eva. Selectophore 91 vinyl chloride 3 vinyl acetate 6 vinyl.

Polymerization leads to vae copolymers. 47 but elevated temperature and presence of some additives for example high amounts of clay cause the production of pungent acetic acid odor which is a product of thermal degradation. In this case the order of the synthesis of the blocks is a key parameter.

Ethylene vinyl acetate is a type of plastic a polymer with a wide variety of uses both residential and industrial. Eva based hot melts are able to fulfill various requirements in applications such as packaging bookbinding or label sticking. Toughness vinyl acetate and flexibility ethylene. Vae copolymers form the basis for engineering different properties in the individual end application.

Ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer does not have an acid odor if it is not thermally degraded. George wypych in handbook of odors in plastic materials second edition 2017. Elvax 40p was obtained from the du pont company wilmington de. Search results for vinyl acetate at sigma aldrich.

There are three different types of eva copolymer which differ in the vinyl acetate va content and the way the materials are used.
