Product Description

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH, PVA, or PVAl) is a synthetic polymer which is both colourless, odourless and water-soluble. It was initially discovered in the early 1920's and since has been used in numerous applications from the lamination of safety glass to the packaging of laundry detergents.

Product Short Description

POLYVINYL ALCOHOL

Product Application

PVA is used in sizing agents that give greater strength to textile yarns and make paper more resistant to oils and greases. It is also employed as a component of adhesives and emulsifiers, as a water-soluble protective film, and as a starting material for the preparation of other resins.

Product Dose

Is it safe for humans? Sub-chronic toxicity and genotoxicity studies confirm that PVA is safe for humans when exposed via numerous exposure pathways in typical daily exposure (1,2). However, the ingredients inside the PVA encasement are often not as safe.

Product Note

Uses of Polyvinyl Alcohol Paper coatings as a size press film former. Board coatings as a protein replacement. Water-soluble film useful for dissolvable packaging. Textile sizing agent. Paper adhesive when combined with boric acid in spiral tube winding and solid board production.
