Vinyl Acetate Emulsion Polymers Market Trends

Vinyl Acetate Emulsion Polymers Market Overview

Vinyl Acetate Emulsion Polymers are manufactured by copolymerization process of vinyl acetate and ethylene compounds. The composition of vinyl acetate in the final product varies between 60 and 95 percent, whereas 5 to 40 percent of the product is composed of ethylene polymers. These polymers are water-borne materials and they can be dried easily for their application in powder polymers. They are known for non-toxic nature, superior performance, extended life, and other features which are influencing the market positively. Due to these factors, vinyl acetate emulsion polymers are used in various applications such as paints & coatings, adhesives, textiles, construction, paper, and others.

Among the various segments in the market, paints & coatings sector holds a major portion due to growing consumption of emulsion polymers in various application such as exterior masonry façade paints, plasters, and others. They are mainly used to add low volatile organic content and impart unique outdoor durability, color retention, dirt pick up resistance, and fire retardant properties to the final product. It is projected that the adhesives sub-segment is set to grow at a significant rate owing to advantages offered by the product such as moisture resistance, flexibility, better tack, and others. Additionally, the growing demand for the product has prompted manufacturers and investors to use them in packaging adhesives and laminating applications. These polymers are used as binders in paper and coating industries as they offer enhanced mechanical properties to the final product. Moreover, the growing consumer awareness and increasing demand from the end-use industries is set to drive the market over the assessment period.

Recent DevelopmentFebruary 2022 - Bioplastics International, a well-known developer of water-soluble polyvinyl acetate (PVA) as well as bio resins derived from plant starches and based in Arizona (US), is striving to restrain the alarming rate of plastic pollution of the oceans. For this, the company has introduced a water-soluble alternative to petroleum-based plastics, which are PVA bags as well as packaging films. PVA is considered safe for consumption by humans, and has been given the approval from the USFDA. It is at present utilized as a food additive and has important medical applications, including biomedical use-cases such as wound management, wound dressing, artificial organs, contact lenses, and drug delivery systems.
