Oxidation catalysts for the conversion of ethylene to vinyl-acetate monomer (VAM)
VAMax™ Series
Edition Date :
August 16, 2023
The VAMax™ series of selective oxidation catalysts offers high activity for Vinyl-Acetate Monomer (VAM) producers. VAM is produced by reacting ethylene and acetic acid with oxygen (oxy-acetylation) in the presence of a catalyst. It is an essential building block for various polymer and co-polymer derivatives.
