Product detail
Monomers

2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate

CAS No: 103-11-7

Used in the production of polymer emulsion paints by copolymerizing with vinyl acetate, and in the production of latex paints together with vinyl chloride.

Product detail
Monomers

Vinyl Acetate Monomer

CAS No: 108-05-4

Vinyl acetate monomer is a key monomer for the production of polyvinyl acetate and polyvinyl alcohol, as well as for adhesives, paints, coatings and film applications.
