Polyvinyl acetate (PVA)
Polyvinyl acetate (PVA) is a synthetic polymer commonly used as an adhesive and glue because it bonds wood, paper, and fabric effectively. It's made from a type of plastic that is flexible and water-based, making it safe and easy to apply. PVA glue dries clear and forms a strong, durable bond once the moisture evaporates. Beyond adhesives, PVA is also used in paints, coatings, and textile finishes due to its excellent film-forming properties. Its versatility, safety, and ease of use make it a popular choice in both industrial applications and household projects.
