Usage

General Description

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) is a synthetic polymer that is water-soluble and has a range of commercial and industrial applications. It is made by the hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate, and the degree of hydrolysis determines its physical properties. PVA is used as a thickener, binder, and stabilizer in a wide variety of products including adhesives, textiles, and paper. It is also used in the manufacture of paper coatings, packaging materials, and as a component in various medical and pharmaceutical products. PVA is valued for its biodegradability and non-toxicity, making it a popular choice for environmentally friendly applications.
