Polyvinyl Alcohol

CAS Number: 124-40-3

As a reputable supplier and wholesaler in the chemical industry, we offer Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA), a versatile polymer with a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. This water-soluble polymer is valued for its film-forming, adhesive, and barrier properties, making it suitable for use in adhesives, coatings, packaging materials, and textiles.

Key Features:

1. Film-Forming Agent: Polyvinyl Alcohol serves as an excellent film-forming agent, forming transparent, flexible films when dissolved in water. These films have excellent tensile strength, barrier properties, and resistance to grease and oil, making them ideal for packaging and coating applications.
2. Adhesive and Binder: PVA is widely used as an adhesive and binder in various industries, including paper, wood, textiles, and construction. Its ability to form strong, durable bonds with a wide range of substrates makes it suitable for applications such as laminating, woodworking, and paperboard production.
3. Emulsifier and Stabilizer: In the chemical industry, Polyvinyl Alcohol acts as an emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of emulsions, suspensions, and dispersions. Its surface-active properties help stabilize colloidal systems and improve the consistency and performance of formulations.
4. Textile Sizing and Coating: PVA is utilized in the textile industry for sizing and coating fabrics to improve their strength, stiffness, and abrasion resistance. Its ability to form a uniform film on fabric surfaces enhances printability, dyeability, and overall fabric performance.
