Polyvinyl Alcohol

Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) is a synthetic polymer made from polyvinyl acetate through a process called hydrolysis. It's a water-soluble substance used in various applications, such as adhesives, coatings, and films. PVA is known for its excellent film-forming properties, strength, and flexibility. It is non-toxic and biodegradable, making it popular in eco-friendly products. In everyday life, you might encounter PVA in laundry detergents, paper products, or as a component in skin care products. Its ability to dissolve in water makes it useful in both industrial and consumer goods.
