The Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) market is an important component of the Adhesives and Sealants industry. VAM is a versatile monomer used to produce a variety of polymers, including polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA). These polymers are used in a wide range of applications, including adhesives, sealants, coatings, and films. VAM is also used in the production of paints, inks, and other specialty chemicals. VAM is produced through the reaction of ethylene and acetic acid, and is typically sold in liquid form. The global VAM market is driven by the increasing demand for adhesives and sealants in the construction, automotive, and packaging industries. The growing demand for VAM in the production of paints and inks is also expected to drive the market. Some of the major companies in the VAM market include BASF, Dow Chemical, Eastman Chemical, ExxonMobil, and LyondellBasell. Show Less Read more
