Acryl-ex™ Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) Distillation Section Antifoulants

In order to achieve the required monomer purity, the raw vinyl acetate coming from the reactor needs to be purified through a series of distillation stages. The high reactivity of vinyl acetate requires producers to use a process inhibitor to prevent fouling.

Using our experience in mitigating polymerization in reactive monomers systems, Nalco has developed tailor-made programs to tackle the VAM polymerization in purification section. Nalco’s Acryl-ex™ program provides an environmentally friendly approach to the process limitation. Replacing PBQ or HQ (the most commonly used polymerization inhibitors), Acryl-ex™ programs reduce the cost of operations and improve system reliability and performance.
