Polyvinyl esters:
General formula

(R = CH3; CH2Cl; C2H5 etc.)

Polyvinyl esters are a group of thermoplastic vinyl polymers. The most important examples of this group are polyvinyl acetate (PVAC) and polyvinyl propionate.[1]

Production

[edit | edit source]

The radical polymerization of vinyl ester 1 (e.g. in case of vinyl acetate; R = CH3) yields polyvinyl ester 2:

Synthese der Polyvinylester
Synthese der Polyvinylester

Use

[edit | edit source]

The transparent polymers are used for the production of lacquers and as adhesives.[1] The hydrolytic cleavage of the ester bonds of vinyl acetate is of industrial significance.[2]
