Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) – High-Performance Water-Soluble Polymer

A high-performance, water-soluble polymer with film-forming and adhesion capabilities

PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol)

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a stable, non-toxic, white to yellowish powder or granule known for being a high-performance, water-soluble polymer. It offers excellent film-forming capability, strong adhesion, and high resistance to solvents and abrasion. PVA is widely used in various industrial and commercial applications thanks to its unique chemical structure, which features both hydrophilic and hydrophobic functional groups.
