Poly(vinyl alcohol) factory

Polyvinyl alcohol is high polymer with excellent characters to dissolve easily in water but not to dissolve in common organic solvent and organic acids, and with excellent film-forming property,oil resistant, chemical-resistant. It can react with formaldehydes to form polyvinyl acetal.

Polyvinyl alcohol is used in food industries as a binding and coating agent. Its viscosity favors the application as coating agent to tablets and capsules. Mixed-matrix membrane prepared by dispersion of NaA zeolite particles is used to study the pervaporative separation of water-butanol mixtures. Polyvinyl alcohol /gelatin based biocompatible polymeric scaffolds have been developed for 3D cancer models.

It is mainly used in the textile industry, as the raw materials of warp pulp, fabric finishing agent, vinylon fiber; interior and exterior wall paint of the building, adhesives; chemical industry use it as a polymerization emulsifier, dispersant and polyvinyl formal, acetal, butyrate aldehyde resin; paper industry use it as a paper binder; agriculture use it as soil improvers, pesticide adhesion synergist and polyvinyl alcohol film; it can also be used for daily cosmetics and high-frequency quenching agent and so on.
