Poly(vinyl alcohol) CAS#9002-89-5

Eco-Friendly Water Solubility:Soluble in hot water and biodegradable, PVA replaces plastics in packaging films, agricultural mulch, and dissolvable laundry bags, reducing microplastic pollution.

Superior Film-Forming & Adhesion:High hydroxyl density enables strong hydrogen bonding, creating durable oxygen-barrier films for food packaging and adhesive layers in paper/textile industries.

Biocompatibility & Low Toxicity:High LD50 (>20,000 mg/kg) and non-carcinogenic (IARC Group 3) properties support safe use in pharmaceuticals, contact lenses, and wound dressings.

Scalable Industrial Processing:Available in bulk powder form (1 FCL MOQ) with tunable solubility via molecular weight control, enabling cost-effective extrusion or solution casting for diverse manufacturing.

Product Description of Poly(vinyl alcohol) CAS#9002-89-5

Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) is a solid polymer commonly available in the form of a white powder, flakes, or flocculent particles. It has a glass transition temperature of approximately 60–85°C. Due to its abundant hydroxyl groups and highly polar structure, PVA readily forms hydrogen bonds with water and is soluble in polar aqueous media. It can also dissolve in hot hydroxyl-containing solvents, such as glycerol and phenol, while showing limited solubility or insolubility in many common organic solvents, including methanol, benzene, acetone, and gasoline.
