Polyvinyl Alcohol Adhesives

Adhesives based on PVOH show excellent resistance to grease, oils, and solvents. The cured adhesive film is impermeable to most of the gases. Being tasteless, odorless and transparent, PVOH adhesives find maximum applications in the food packaging industry. Polyvinyl alcohol resins are Non-toxic and biodegradable, that make them an excellent choice in food packaging. PVOH adhesives wet out fast to grab and bond quickly. Often used in the manufacturing of composite cans, tube winding, corrugated board and corner guards for boxes, It is widely used in building wallpaper or ceramic board adhesion, can also be mixed into the cement mortar, to improve the adhesion of mortar.

polyvinyl alcohol has exceptional film forming, emulsifying and bonding properties. More economical and easier to use than dextrin and other synthetics found in some paperboard manufacturing. Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) liquid 15 % in demineralized water can be used for modification of dispersion glues, manufacture of paper glues and glues which can be remoistened. Protective gel for the emulsion polymerization, raw material for finishing and textile glaze, binding agent for the surface processing of paper. The main uses are in the paper, adhesive, textile and construction industries, as well as in ceramics, packaging and electronics. The physical and chemical properties make PVOH very versatile. It features water-solubility, excellent film forming characteristics, high tensile strength and elasticity, as well as resistance against organic solvents and dispersing power.
