Poly(vinyl adipate)

polymer

Poly(vinyl adipate) is a synthetic polymer formed from vinyl alcohol units esterified with adipic acid, belonging to the polyvinyl ester family. It is primarily encountered in research and specialty applications rather than high-volume industrial use, where it serves roles requiring controlled flexibility, biocompatibility, or specific solvent interactions. The material is notable within the polyvinyl ester family for its balance of hydrolytic stability and processability, making it relevant for investigators developing biodegradable films, controlled-release systems, or modified binders where conventional polyvinyl acetate may be too rigid or insufficiently functional.

Safety & Biocompatibility

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
