Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) powder is a versatile and water-soluble synthetic polymer that finds applications across a variety of industries due to its unique chemical properties. Derived from the polymerization of vinyl acetate, PVA is created by hydrolyzing the polymer to remove the acetate groups, leaving behind hydroxyl (OH) groups that are water-soluble. PVA powder is an easy-to-handle, dry form of this polymer, making it suitable for diverse applications, from adhesives and coatings to pharmaceuticals and food packaging.
