PVA is integral across industries. In packaging, it forms water-soluble films for detergent pods and agrochemical sachets, dissolving instantly in water. The textile sector uses PVA as a sizing agent, strengthening yarns during weaving to reduce breakage—after processing, it dissolves easily, leaving fabrics smooth. In paper manufacturing, PVA acts as a surface sizing agent, improving printability and water resistance in packaging papers. Construction employs PVA powder as a cement admixture, enhancing mortar flexibility and crack resistance. The pharmaceutical industry uses PVA in tablet binders and ophthalmic solutions due to its biocompatibility. Adhesives for woodworking and bookbinding rely on PVA’s strong, quick-drying bonds. Additionally, PVA is used in cosmetics as a thickener and in 3D printing as a support material.
