Exploring Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA): A Key Player in Textiles, Construction, and Beyond
January 15, 2025 •Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a water-soluble, non-toxic, and biodegradable polymer produced through the polymerization of vinyl acetate followed by alcoholysis. PVA’s properties are determined by its degree of polymerization and alcoholysis, making it highly versatile. It exhibits excellent film-forming, adhesive, and emulsifying properties. PVA is widely used in textiles, construction, adhesives, coatings, and various other industries due to its stability, chemical resistance, and biodegradability.
