Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a synthetic polymer characterized by its water solubility, biodegradability, and film-forming abilities. It is created through the hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate, which replaces acetate groups with hydroxyl groups, enhancing its water solubility. PVA exhibits excellent adhesive properties, high tensile strength, and chemical resistance, making it versatile for various applications, including textiles, paper coatings, adhesives, and as a stabilizer in emulsion polymerization. Additionally, its biocompatibility and non-toxicity enable its use in medical and pharmaceutical fields, such as in drug delivery systems and tissue engineering.
APPLICATIONS
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) has a wide range of applications across various industries due to its unique properties, such as water solubility, film-forming ability, and biodegradability.
It serves as a primary ingredient in many adhesives, including white glue, due to its strong adhesive properties and ease of application. PVA fibers are added to cement and mortar to enhance their flexibility, durability, and resistance to cracking, which improves the overall structural integrity of buildings.
Water-soluble PVA films are used in packaging, especially for single-use applications like laundry detergent pods and agrochemical packaging, due to their biodegradability and safe dissolution in water.
It is also used as a sizing agent in textile manufacturing to improve thread strength and reduce breakage during weaving. In the paper industry, it enhances the strength and gloss of paper and acts as a binder for coatings.
