Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) Hydrogels

Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) hydrogels are water-containing gels made from a synthetic polymer called polyvinyl alcohol. They are flexible, transparent, and can absorb a large amount of water, making them useful in various applications. PVA hydrogels are commonly used in medical products like wound dressings, contact lenses, and drug delivery systems due to their biocompatibility and ability to retain moisture. Additionally, they are employed in cosmetics and as moisture-retaining materials in agriculture. Their unique properties make them valuable in both healthcare and everyday products.
