Polyvinyl alcohol for textile sizing
April 02, 2024

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is used in textile sizing, which is the process of applying a protective coating to yarn or fabric to enhance its weaving and handling properties. In textile sizing, various grades of PVA can be utilized, depending on the specific requirements of the sizing process and the desired characteristics of the finished textile product.

 

The selection of the PVA grade depends on factors such as the desired viscosity, film-forming properties, adhesion strength, and water solubility. Generally, medium-to-high molecular weight PVA grades with moderate viscosity are preferred for textile sizing applications. These grades offer good film-forming ability, excellent adhesion to the fibers, and compatibility with other sizing agents.

 

PVA-based sizing formulations may also include additional additives like lubricants, softeners, antistatic agents, and crosslinking agents to further enhance the performance and processability of the sized yarn or fabric.

 

It's worth noting that the specific PVA grade and formulation used for textile sizing can vary depending on the type of textile fibers being sized (e.g., natural or synthetic fibers), weaving techniques, and the desired properties of the final textile product.
