PVA For Paper Industry

PVA block copolymer is a polymer with high application value. It is composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and another organic polymer block. PVA is a colorless, odorless, non-toxic synthetic polymer with good solubility and plasticity. It has good solubility and gelling ability in water and can form strong hydrogels. Therefore, PVA is widely used in fields such as textiles, paper, adhesives, medical supplies, etc.   The choice of another organic polymer block can be determined according to needs. For example, organic polymers with specific functions such as polyacrylate (PAA), polyacrylamide (PAM), etc. can be selected. These organic polymers have different chemical properties and application characteristics, and can play different roles in block copolymers.   The preparation methods of PVA block copolymers include solution copolymerization, emulsion copolymerization, reaction impregnation, etc. Among them, solution copolymerization is one of the most commonly used methods. During the preparation process, PVA and other organic polymers are first added to the solvent in a certain proportion, and then the two polymers are copolymerized by controlling the temperature, reaction time, acid-base balance and other conditions. The final product is a block copolymer with good properties and application value.   The application of PVA block copolymer is very wide. For example, it can be used to prepare highly absorbent materials such as household paper, sanitary napkins, diapers, etc. In addition, it can also be used to prepare medical dressings, drug sustained-release systems, capsule materials, etc.   In general, PVA block copolymers have high research and application value. By rationally selecting blocks and regulating the preparation method, copolymers with specific functions and properties can be obtained to meet the needs of different fields.   Website: www.elephchem.com Whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com ElephChem Holding Limited, professional market expert in Polyvinyl Alcohol(PVA) and Vinyl Acetate–ethylene Copolymer Emulsion(VAE) with strong recognition and excellent plant facilities of international standards.

Its oxygen barrier performance is better than that of PVDC coated film and EVOH five-layer co-extruded film. Its oxygen barrier performance is the best among various resin films, comparable to aluminum foil, glass, aluminum oxide-plated film and silicon oxide-plated film.   The production cost of PVA coated composite film is much lower than that of paper-aluminum-plastic composite and aluminum-plastic composite packaging materials, much lower than that of EVOH five-layer co-extruded film, and lower than that of composite film with PVDC coating.   Satisfactory results can be achieved by using the existing dry laminating machines, coating machines, wet laminating machines, extrusion laminating machines and other equipment of various flexible packaging manufacturers. The modified PVA glue does not form a skin, and the viscosity does not increase significantly during normal use. The coating layer is very thin, but the thickness uniformity of the coating remains excellent.   The structural components of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) high barrier water-based coating liquid are carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and silicon. It is degradable and recyclable. When burned, it only produces carbon dioxide and water without producing other substances harmful to the environment and human health. It is pollution-free and is an ideal environmentally friendly high barrier packaging material.   Website: www.elephchem.com Whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com ElephChem Holding Limited, professional market expert in Polyvinyl Alcohol(PVA) and Vinyl Acetate–ethylene Copolymer Emulsion(VAE) with strong recognition and excellent plant facilities of international standards.  

High degree of polymerization PVA has excellent strength and durability due to its high degree of polymerization, and is an important raw material for preparing high-strength materials. High degree of polymerization is generally above 5000.   1. High-strength adhesive: High-polymerized PVA can be used to prepare high-strength glues that can firmly bond various materials and are widely used in construction, automobiles, electronics and other fields. For example, in the construction field, PVA adhesives are used to bond ceramic tiles, stone, wood and other materials, showing good durability and water resistance.   2. Film materials: High-polymerization PVA can also prepare transparent film materials. These film materials have excellent tensile strength, crack resistance and air barrier properties, and are suitable for textiles, food packaging and other fields. For example, film materials made of high-polymerized PVA are widely used in the packaging of high-end textiles because they are non-static, oil-resistant, and resistant to organic chemicals.   3. Special functional materials: Due to its unique properties, ultra-high molecular PVA is often used to prepare materials with special functions. For example, in the field of biomedicine, ultra-high molecular PVA can be used as artificial blood vessels, biomedical materials, etc. Because of its good biocompatibility and mechanical properties, it can effectively replace or assist human tissue.   4. Advanced coating materials: Ultra-high molecular PVA can also be used to prepare advanced coating materials.

Low degree of polymerization PVA has good water solubility and plasticity due to its lower degree of polymerization and shorter molecular chain. These properties make low-polymerization PVA widely used in many fields. The degree of polymerization of PVA is generally below 1000.   1. Water-soluble adhesive: Low-polymerized PVA is often used as a water-soluble adhesive because of its excellent water solubility. For example, in the paper products industry, low-polymerized PVA is used for cardboard lamination, corrugated cardboard bonding, and office glue. It also has the advantage of being safe and non-toxic, making it widely used in the packaging industry, such as the bonding of kraft paper bags for heavy objects such as cement, fertilizers, and grain.   2. Coatings and coating materials: Low-polymer PVA can be used as a coating material on the surface of paper, which can significantly improve the gloss and anti-permeability of the paper. In addition, it can also be used as a pigment processing agent to improve the whiteness and gloss of coated paper and enhance the printing effect.   3. Commonly used low-polymerization polyvinyl alcohols such as PVA 05-88. This grade of PVA is also used for medical devices, warp sizing, release agents, etc.   Medium degree of polymerization PVA has a moderate degree of polymerization and exhibits good strength and heat resistance, so it is suitable for occasions that require a certain degree of strength and durability. The degree of polymerization of PVA is between 1000 and 5000.   1. Textile enhancer: Medium-polymerized PVA is commonly used as a textile enhancer in the textile industry.

Polyvinyl alcohol is obtained through the alcoholysis of polyvinyl acetate. Its degree of alcoholysis refers to the percentage of the number of vinyl alcohol units in the molecular chain to the total number of molecular structural units. The degree of polymerization of polyvinyl alcohol refers to the number of repeating units in the molecular chain, which directly affects the length and physical properties of the molecule. The different degrees of polymerization determine the different application fields and properties of polyvinyl alcohol. For example, polyvinyl alcohol with an ultra-high degree of polymerization is often used in applications requiring greater strength and durability, while polyvinyl alcohol with a lower degree of polymerization may be more suitable for applications requiring better solubility or flexibility.   For example: According to the chemical formula of polyvinyl alcohol (-C2H2O-)n, PVA 2488, -88 means that the degree of alcoholysis is 88mol%, and 24- means that its degree of polymerization is about 2400, so the ideal molecular formula of PVA2488 should be (-C2H2O-) 2400. The adjustment is approximately 2400*44=105600. Therefore, one is to measure the size of the formed skeleton, and the other is to measure the conversion rate into the desired product. Those two are different.     Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is the hydrolyzate of polyvinyl acetate. The solvent of PVA is water, but its solubility in water is largely affected by the degree of polymerization and is dominated by the degree of alcoholysis. Completely alcoholylated PVA has very little dissolution in water. When the alcoholysis degree is below 88%, it is almost completely dissolved at room temperature of 20°C. However, as the alcoholysis degree increases, the solubility decreases significantly. Solubility PVA is soluble in water. The higher the water temperature, the greater the solubility, but it is almost insoluble in organic solvents.   PVA solubility changes with the degree of alcoholysis and polymerization. .Partial alcoholysis and low polymerization degree PVA dissolve very quickly, while complete alcoholysis and high polymerization degree PVA dissolve slowly. As a general rule, the degree of alcoholysis has a greater impact on the solubility of PVA than the degree of polymerization.   Website: www.elephchem.com Whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com ElephChem Holding Limited, professional market expert in Polyvinyl Alcohol(PVA) and Vinyl Acetate–ethylene Copolymer Emulsion(VAE) with strong recognition and excellent plant facilities of international standards.
