Breve introducción:
Polyvinyl Alcohol 05-88 (also known as PVA 0588 or 088-05) is a partially hydrolyzed, low-viscosity grade water-soluble polymer. It appears as white granules or powder.
With a viscosity range of 4.8 – 6.0 mPa.s and a degree of alcoholysis between 86.5 – 89.0 mol%, PVA 05-88 offers excellent solubility, surface activity, and film flexibility. It is specifically engineered for applications requiring high penetration and flow, such as textile sizing for fine filaments and as a stabilizer for emulsion polymerization.

Main Characteristics:
-
Solubilidad: Exhibits strong hydrophilicity. While it is soluble in water, for optimal performance, it is generally recommended to dissolve it in hot water (above 90°C). It is insoluble in most organic solvents.
-
Film Forming: Forms flexible films with excellent mechanical properties. The film acts as a superior barrier against gases like Hydrogen, Nitrogen, and Oxygen.
-
Adhesiveness: Provides strong bonding strength to hydrophilic surfaces, making it excellent for paper and textile applications.
-
Chemical Stability: Resistant to weak acids, weak alkalis, and oils.
-
Reactivity: Capable of cross-linking reactions (e.g., with boric acid) to modify water resistance and viscosity.
Aplicaciones:
Based on its low viscosity and partial hydrolysis, PVA 05-88 is widely used in:
-
Industria textil: Used as a warp sizing agent for long fibers (filaments) where deep penetration into the yarn is required.
-
Adhesive & Emulsion: Acts as an effective stabilizer and emulsifier for PVAc (Polyvinyl Acetate) emulsions.
-
Paper Processing: Used as a coating agent for art paper (coated paper) to improve surface gloss and printability.
-
Printing & Photosensitive Materials: Essential component in zinc plate printing (photoengraving) and the manufacturing of photosensitive films.
-
Specialty Adhesives: Used in the production of re-wettable adhesives (remoistening adhesives) for postage stamps and envelopes.

FAQ:
Q: What is the difference between PVA 05-88 and PVA 17-88?
A: Both are partially hydrolyzed grades (around 88%), but they differ significantly in viscosity.
-
PVA 05-88 is a low viscosity grade (4.8-6.0 mPa.s), offering better flow and penetration, suitable for fine textile sizing and coatings.
-
PVA 17-88 is a medium viscosity grade (19.5-32.0 mPa.s), providing higher solution thickness and stronger initial tack for general adhesives.
Q: How does PVA 05-88 compare to PVA 05-99?
A: Both are low viscosity grades, but they differ in hydrolysis:
-
PVA 05-88 is partially hydrolyzed, offering better solubility speed, flexibility, and surface activity.
-
PVA 05-99 is fully hydrolyzed, offering superior water resistance and tensile strength after drying.
Q: Can PVA 05-88 be used for photosensitive coatings?
A: Yes, PVA 05-88 is specifically listed for use in photosensitive films and zinc plate printing due to its precise film-forming properties and reactivity.
