 RAW MATERIALS
• Water :- Water acts as a dispersing medium, it forming emulsion.
• Vinyl Acetate Monomer :- Vinyl Acetate Monomer is a colourless mobile liquid with a sweet pleasant
odour.
• Poly Vinyl Alcohol:- PVA added to improve water solubility, toughness and improve adhesion.

• Butylated Hydroxy Toluene :- it is act as a stabilizer to stabilize the emulsion .

• Potassium Per Sulfate :- Potassium persulfate act as an initator to initiate the polymerization reaction.

• Di-Butyl Phthalate :- Dibutyl phthalate is primarily used as a plasticizer in various products to increase
their flexibility and durability.
• Sodium BiCarbonate :- Sodium bicarbonate is also known for its ability to regulate pH levels.
PROCESS FLOW DIAGRAM
 PROCESS DESCRIPTION
• Prepare the reactor :- Introduce known amount of water into the reactor through a pump. Heat the
reactor using steam Jacket until the temperature reaches 60°C.
• Add Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) :- when the temperature reaches 60°C, Add a measured amount of
Polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) to the reactor. Continue the heating till the temperature of reactor reaches
70°C.
• Add initiator & additives:- As soon as the temperature reaches 70°C, add a known amount of
Potassium persulfate, Sodium bicarbonate and Di-butyl phthalate to the reactor and start the mixing by
agitator and continue the heating upto 80°C.
• Add vinyl acetate monomer:- During the stirring Process, add vinyl acetate monomer to the reactor
at very slow rate.
 PROCESS DESCRIPTION
• Cooling system:- Here this reaction is exothermic so, the temperature of rector is increasing, to
cooling them close the steam valve and open cooling water valve of the jacket.

• Remove product:- After 5 hours, the PVAc adhesive will be formed at the bottom of the reactor,
Remove the product from the bottom and allow it to cool down.
• Recirculation of unreacterd Vinyl acetate monomer(VAM):- During the process VAM vapor is
also produced because of it's boiling temperature is 72°C. To prevent any losses, VAM Vapor is
condensed in Vertical Condenser and then returned to the reactor for further reaction.

• Recirculation of cooling water:- Send cooling water from the jacket to the cooling tower and
recirculate it.
 CHEMICAL REACTION
•Initiation :
In this reaction we add potassium persulphate as a initator. It generates sulfate free radicals ( SO 4•)
through thermal activation which initiate the polymerization reaction. This sulfate free radicals attack the first
monomer to initiate chain growth .
K2S2O8 2SO 4• VAM ~ Vinyl acetate monomer

2SO 4• + VAM VAM•

•Propogation:
A vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) reacts with the free radical of another vinyl acetate Monomer (VAM) and form
a growing polymer chain with a vinyl acetate unit.

VAM• + VAM (VAM) 2• in general:

(VAM) 2• + VAM (VAM) 3• (VAM) n• + VAM (VAM) n+1
•
• Termination:
The polymer chains grow until they are terminated by combination or disproportionation.

Combination
(VAM) • +(VAM) • VAM-VAM
Disproportionation
(VAM) n• + VAM• (VAM) n+1

The termination of polymer chain is typically controlled by adjusting the reaction conditions, including the
concentration of initiators, temperature, and reaction time.

• Overall Reaction
 APPLICATIONS
 Woodworking: Used for bonding wood and making furniture.

 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Ensuring the safety of employees, the environment, and the surrounding community is of upmost importance in
the chemical manufacturing industry. Advanced safety measures play a critical role in minimizing the risks
associated with chemical manufacturing and preventing accidents from occurring.

• Safety Goggles: It is made from Polycarbonate. To protect the eyes from chemical splashes, fumes, and
airborne particles.
• Chemical-Resistant Gloves: It is made from materials like nitrile, neoprene, or rubber can provide protection
against contact with PVAc and other chemicals
• Foot Protection: It is made from Polyurethanes. Chemical-resistant footwear with non-slip soles can protect
the feet from spills and potential slips.
• Apron or Full-Body Suit: It is made from Polypropylene, Polyester or Polyethylene. For tasks that involve a
higher risk of splashes or exposure, a chemical-resistant apron or full-body suit can provide additional
protection.
