Water-soluble film former
Dissolves in water and dries to strong, aceite- and solvent-resistant films.
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a water-soluble polymer used for fibers and in large quantities in coatings, adhesivos, paper processing, textile sizing and emulsion polymerization. SUNCHEM supplies PVA grades with a batch COA on every shipment.
PVA is made by hydrolyzing polyvinyl acetate. It dissolves in water to form a stable colloid and forms strong, oil-resistant films, with properties between plastics and rubber. Besides fiber (vinylon), it is used in coatings and building adhesives, paper sizing and coating, textile warp sizing, as a protective colloid in emulsion polymerization (PVAc and VAE), and as a raw material for PVB and water-soluble film.
Grades are defined by degree of hydrolysis and viscosity (degree of polymerization). Tell us the grade you use now so we quote the equivalent.
Dissolves in water and dries to strong, aceite- and solvent-resistant films.
Binds pigments and fibers and stabilizes emulsions as a protective colloid.
We quote against your hydrolysis, viscosity and volatile limits and send the batch COA for each lot.

Where PVA is used, and what to confirm before you switch supply.
A binder in building adhesives, putty, coatings and paper glues.
Used for paper surface sizing and coating and for textile warp sizing.
Stabilizes PVAc and VAE emulsions during polymerization.
A raw material for vinylon fiber, PVB resin and water-soluble film.
| Su requisito | Lo que normalmente funciona |
|---|---|
| Building adhesives and putty | Fully hydrolyzed grade; viscosity to suit the formulation |
| Emulsion polymerization | Partially hydrolyzed grade as protective colloid |
| Paper and textile sizing | Match the grade and viscosity you use now |
| Reemplazo de un proveedor existente | Envíe su TDS o COA actual; Cotizamos contra los parámetros que usted apruebe. |
Tell us the bag size and pallet requirements you need; Confirmamos el embalaje con la cotización..
Keep bags closed in a dry store; PVA absorbs moisture.
Adhesivo, papel, textil, emulsion or fiber: hydrolysis and viscosity follow from it.
Degree of hydrolysis, viscosity of a 4% solución, volátiles, ash and pH.
Dissolve a sample in your own plant conditions; fully hydrolyzed grades need hot water.
Ejecute una muestra en su propio proceso y mantenga el COA del lote aprobado como referencia para los límites del contrato..
Tell us your application and the PVA grade you use now, the quantity and the destination port. Add your current specification and we will quote against it.
