POVAL (chemical name: polyvinyl alcohol, PVA) is a white, water-soluble synthetic resin in crystalline or powder form. It is used as a functional material with a wide range of varied applications. Multiple grades of POVAL cover a wide range of polymerization and hydrolysis degrees typical of major PVA applications, each tailored to address specific end-use applications. POVAL delivers superior binding ability when serving as an adhesive agent for porous cellulose-based materials like paper and wood, and can also be conveniently processed into a film with excellent mechanical performance (tensile strength, tear resistance, etc.)Information provided by Denka. |
