PVOH, also known as polyvinyl alcohol, is a water-soluble synthetic polymer recognized for its film-forming ability, adhesion, and chemical resistance. Produced through the hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate, PVOH exhibits adjustable properties depending on molecular weight and degree of hydrolysis. It is widely used in packaging films, detergent pods, textile sizing, paper coatings, and construction adhesives. In environmentally conscious markets, PVOH is valued for its low toxicity and compatibility with water-based systems. Industrial films made from PVOH provide oxygen barrier performance for food and pharmaceutical packaging. In adhesives, PVOH enables strong bonding to cellulose-based substrates such as paper and wood. Its role as a protective colloid in polymerization processes further expands its industrial relevance. For customers seeking tailored grades or technical clarification, direct communication is recommended to identify optimal solutions and commercial terms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there any difference between PVA and PVOH?

PVA and PVOH refer to the same material, polyvinyl alcohol. The difference lies only in the abbreviation used in different regions or industries. Both terms describe a water-soluble polymer with strong film-forming and adhesive properties used across construction, textile, paper, and adhesive applications.
PVA 0588 features low viscosity and fast dissolution, making it suitable for low-viscosity adhesives, water-soluble films, and polymerization processes. It supports smooth processing, reduced mixing time, and precise viscosity control in industrial production lines.
PVA 217 has performance characteristics similar to PVA 1788 and can be used as an alternative in many adhesive, film, and textile applications. It provides good tensile strength, flexibility, and abrasion resistance while maintaining stable solubility and processing behavior.
VAE emulsion is used in construction adhesives, wall coatings, waterproofing materials, and nonwoven fabric bonding. It provides strong adhesion, low-temperature film formation, and long-term flexibility without requiring additional plasticizers.
