    Polyvinyl Alcohol Properties   Polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH, PVA or PVAl) is a water-soluble synthetic polymer. PVOH has excellent film-forming and adhesive properties, making it an ideal material for the production of films and adhesives. PVOH also has strong resistance to oil, grease and organic solvents. It is commonly used in packaging, textiles and coatings for a variety of purposes.   Applications of Polyvinyl Alcohol   PVOH/pvoh-water-soluble-film-grade is a versatile polymer that can be widely used in different industries.In the food industry, it's popular as a packaging material because it does a great job at keeping moisture and oxygen out. PVOH is a very popular material. The film formed by PVOH can also be used as an adhesive layer for different types of films, making it an important component of flexible packaging. In addition, PVOH can also be used in the production of laundry detergent pods. It is a water-soluble packaging material that dissolves in water during the washing process.     In the medical field, PVOH is used to create water-soluble films for blister packs. These films help keep medicines safe from moisture and spoilage. It can also be used in medical textiles and surgical dressings. PVOH works as a binder for making gypsum-based products. It's really handy in construction because it makes the final products stick better and last longer. In farming, PVOH is used for coating seeds and in fertilizers that gradually release nutrients.     Recyclability of Polyvinyl Alcohol   PVOH is a recyclable material, and the recycling process involves dissolving it in water to break down its molecular structure, making it easier to separate from any impurities. The resulting solution is filtered and the PVOH is then regenerated by removing the water from the solution. The regenerated PVOH can be used to produce a variety of products such as compostable bags, water-soluble films, and adhesives.   Recycling PVOH is essential to reduce the amount of plastic waste in the environment and conserve resources. In addition, PVOH is biodegradable, which means that it can be broken down by microorganisms and eventually decomposed into natural compounds. Therefore, recycling PVOH not only reduces waste, but also reduces the amount of plastic waste in landfills and oceans, which has a positive impact on the environment.   Website: www.elephchem.com Whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com
