3511 Polyvinyl acetate Polyvinyl acetate is a rubbery synthetic polymer. It is a component of glue and is used mainly as an adhesive for porous materials, particularly for wood, paper, and cloth. While polyvinyl acetate itself is not considered hazardous, it usually contains trace amounts of its precursor, vinyl acetate, which is toxic.

One of the metabolites of vinyl acetate, acetaldehyde, is a known animal carcinogen. Acetaldehyde can form adducts with DNA, causing damage such as cross-links. (L1304, A354) Vinyl acetate may be absorbed following ingestion, inhalation, or dermal exposure, and distributes throughout the body. It is rapidly hydrolyzed by esterases in the blood to acetate and the unstable intermediate, vinyl alcohol. Vinyl alcohol is then rapidly converted to acetaldehyde, which in turn is metabolized to acetate in the liver. This in turn is incorporated into the "2 carbon pool" of normal body metabolism and eventually forms carbon dioxide as the major breakdown product, which is expired. (L1304) 3, not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans. (L135) Polyvinyl acetate is a component of glue and is used mainly as an adhesive for porous materials, particularly for wood, paper, and cloth. (L1301) Vinyl acetate may affect the immune system. It may also be a carcinogen. (L1304) Inhalation of vinyl acetate irritates the eyes, nose, and throat. Skin contact causes irritation and blisters.
