The high reactivity of vinyl acetate requires producers to use polymerization inhibitors to prevent fouling. Building on our experience in mitigating polymerization in reactive monomer systems, Nalco Water has developed tailor-made programs to tackle VAM polymerization in the purification section. Our Acryl-ex™ program for VAM provides an environmentally friendly approach to fouling control.
