PVA 2699, a high-molecular-weight (MW ~170k Da), fully hydrolyzed (DH ≥99%) grade, is priced at $2,200-$2,800/ton in bulk quantities (≥10 tons). Its high MW contributes to exceptional film strength and viscosity, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications like industrial coatings and water-soluble films for large detergent pods. Availability is stable, with major Chinese manufacturers producing PVA 2699 year-round. Lead times for standard orders are 1-2 weeks, while customized packaging (e.g., 25kg bags or 1-ton supersacks) may add 3-5 days. Suppliers often offer volume discounts for orders exceeding 50 tons, reducing costs by 5-10%. Distributors maintain regional stockpiles in Asia, Europe, and North America to ensure quick delivery.
