poly(vinyl butyrate)

polymer

Poly(vinyl butyrate) is a synthetic polymer derived from the acetalization of polyvinyl alcohol, belonging to the family of vinyl ester polymers. It is primarily used in adhesive formulations, coatings, and film applications where moderate flexibility and solubility in organic solvents are advantageous. The material offers a balance between rigidity and processability, making it valuable in industries requiring controlled adhesion or water-resistant film properties, though it is less common than polyvinyl acetate or other vinyl polymers in high-volume engineering applications.

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.
