Vinyl acetate is a clear, colourless liquid with the molecular formula C4H6O2. It has a sweet, pleasant, fruity smell, but the odour may be sharp and irritating to some people. You can easily smell vinyl acetate when it is in the air at levels around 0.5 ppm. It readily evaporates into air and dissolves easily in water. Vinyl acetate is flammable and may be ignited by heat, sparks, or flames. [1,2]
