Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA)

Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) is a synthetic polymer that is water-soluble and biodegradable. It is made from the polymerization of vinyl acetate, which is then modified to create a soluble substance. PVA is commonly used in various applications, including adhesives, coatings, films, and as a thickening agent in cosmetics. Its ability to dissolve in water makes it suitable for products like laundry pods and eco-friendly packaging. Additionally, PVA is valued for its film-forming properties and resistance to oils and solvents, making it versatile in both industrial and household products.
