Vinyl Acetate (VAM) is an organic compound that is mainly used in the production of downstream products such as polyvinyl alcohol, white emulsion, VAE emulsions, plastics, coatings, adhesives, and others. VAM is a colourless liquid and can be supplied in bulk (by vessel or isotanks) and drums. Foscote has become a leading supplier of VAM in recent years, steadily increasing our operations with this product. Please contact us for more information on the product and to receive an offer.
