PVA 2488 offers numerous benefits: high degree of hydrolysis (98-99%) ensures excellent water resistance, making it suitable for outdoor coatings and cement modifiers. Its high molecular weight (~140k Da) forms strong, durable films with high tensile strength (≥60 MPa) and elongation at break (≥200%), ideal for water-soluble packaging of detergents and agrochemicals. PVA 2488 dissolves completely at 90-95°C, forming clear solutions with high viscosity, perfect for thick adhesives and paper sizing. Its chemical resistance to dilute acids and alkalis extends the lifespan of coated materials. In construction, PVA 2488 improves mortar flexibility and bond strength, reducing cracking in renders and tile adhesives. The product’s consistent quality and wide availability make it a staple in industrial applications.
