PVA (polyvinyl acetate)

Polyvinyl acetate (PVA) is a type of synthetic polymer commonly used as an adhesive, known as white glue or school glue. It is a man-made material derived from vinyl acetate monomers, forming a flexible, water-based glue that bonds paper, wood, and fabric effectively. PVA is appreciated for its strong bonding properties, ease of use, and clean application, making it popular in woodworking, crafts, and packaging. When it dries, it forms a clear, durable film that holds materials together securely. Its versatility and safety also make it a common choice for household repairs and artistic projects.
