poly(vinyl chloride-co-vinyl acetate)
polymerPoly(vinyl chloride-co-vinyl acetate) is a vinyl copolymer combining PVC's durability with vinyl acetate's flexibility and processability, creating a material with improved softness and low-temperature performance compared to rigid PVC homopolymer. It is widely used in flooring, flexible films, cable sheaths, adhesives, and coatings where moderate flexibility, chemical resistance, and cost-effectiveness are required; engineers typically select this copolymer over pure PVC when applications demand enhanced pliability without resorting to heavy plasticizer loadings, or over pure polyvinyl acetate when superior chemical resistance and thermal stability are needed.

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.
