Reliable prices, market analysis and data

A monomer is a molecule that can be bonded to other identical molecules to form a polymer. Vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) is a key intermediate used for the manufacture of polymers and resins to make adhesives, coatings, paints, films, textiles and other end-products. Demand for VAM comes from multiple sectors – notably packaging, automotive and construction – so prices can be volatile. For key decision-makers, it’s vital to be aware of changes as they happen in order to ensure price negotiations are fair.
