PVOH Chemical

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is used in textile sizing, which is the process of applying a protective coating to yarn or fabric to enhance its weaving and handling properties. In textile sizing, various grades of PVA can be utilized, depending on the specific requirements of the sizing process and the desired characteristics of the finished textile product.   The selection of the PVA grade depends on factors such as the desired viscosity, film-forming properties, adhesion strength, and water solubility. Generally, medium-to-high molecular weight PVA grades with moderate viscosity are preferred for textile sizing applications. These grades offer good film-forming ability, excellent adhesion to the fibers, and compatibility with other sizing agents.   PVA-based sizing formulations may also include additional additives like lubricants, softeners, antistatic agents, and crosslinking agents to further enhance the performance and processability of the sized yarn or fabric.   It's worth noting that the specific PVA grade and formulation used for textile sizing can vary depending on the type of textile fibers being sized (e.g., natural or synthetic fibers), weaving techniques, and the desired properties of the final textile product.   Website: www.elephchem.com Whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com ElephChem Holding Limited, professional market expert in Polyvinyl Alcohol(PVA) and Vinyl Acetate–ethylene Copolymer Emulsion(VAE) with strong recognition and excellent plant facilities of international standards.

The water resistance of polyvinyl alcohol was improved by cross-linking with maleic acid (commonly known as maleic acid, MA). The esterification crosslinking of PVA membrane is achieved through the esterification reaction between PVA molecule and MA at high temperature. The esterification crosslinking reaction actually introduces carbonyl group into the polymer chain of PVA, forming a new polymer, but the main chain of the whole PVA polymer remains unchanged.   The PVA after esterification with MA only has chemical crosslinking, and does not produce a stable crystal structure, so the PVA film is easy to be swollen by water and destroy the structure of the film. Therefore, the PVA film should be heat treated. Since the esterification reaction in the liquid phase is characterized by reversibility, the crosslinking of polymers in the PVA film during the heating process makes the esterification reaction irreversible due to the partial water that has not been removed in the casting liquid and the complete volatilization of the water generated by the esterification reaction of PVA and MA, and the cross-linked PVA film is stable.   PVA can improve the water resistance and poor mechanical properties of PVA by chemical crosslinking with MA. Proper concentration of crosslinker and heat treatment conditions can make PVA obtain better water resistance.   Website: www.elephchem.com Whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com ElephChem Holding Limited, professional market expert in Polyvinyl Alcohol(PVA) and Vinyl Acetate–ethylene Copolymer Emulsion(VAE) with strong recognition and excellent plant facilities of international standards.  

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) contains a large number of hydrophilic hydroxyl groups, which exhibit strong affinity for water during external drying and wetting changes. The use of epoxy resin, with high bonding strength and good stability, as a modifier for PVA is mainly because the epoxy groups in the epoxy resin can react with the hydroxyl groups in PVA to form ethers. To carry out the epoxy resin modification method of PVA, measure the required amounts of PVA and water and add them separately to three-necked flasks equipped with stirring and reflux devices. Start stirring and raise the temperature to 90°C, maintaining the reaction for 1 hour to obtain a PVA aqueous solution of a certain concentration. Cool it to 70°C, increase the stirring speed, and add a specific amount of epoxy resin to the glue solution. Maintain the reaction at this temperature for 2 hours to obtain epoxy resin-modified PVA.   Through orthogonal experiments, it has been determined that the optimal reaction conditions for PVA modification are a PVA concentration of 8%, modification time of 2 hours, epoxy resin addition of 2.4% (mass fraction), and modification temperature of 60°C. Under these conditions, the modified PVA exhibits excellent performance in terms of curing degree, which reaches 89.6%, significantly higher than the curing degree of unmodified PVA, which is 64.5%.   Website: www.elephchem.com Whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com ElephChem Holding Limited, professional market expert in Polyvinyl Alcohol(PVA) and Vinyl Acetate–ethylene Copolymer Emulsion(VAE) with strong recognition and excellent plant facilities of international standards.

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a versatile synthetic polymer that has found various applications in the field of modern traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparations. Its unique properties make it suitable for use in different dosage forms, including tablets, capsules, and topical formulations.  One of the main applications of PVA in TCM preparations is as a film-forming agent. It can form a thin, flexible, and transparent film when applied onto the surface of a tablet or capsule. This film helps in improving the appearance, stability, and shelf-life of the product. Additionally, the PVA film can act as a barrier, protecting the active ingredients from moisture, oxygen, and other environmental factors.   PVA can also be used as a binder in the formulation of TCM tablets. By adding PVA to the powder mixture,it enhances the cohesion and compressibility of the blend, resulting in tablets with improved mechanical strength and reduced friability. This ensures that the tablets retain their integrity during handling, packaging, and transportation.   Furthermore, PVA can serve as a viscosity modifier and suspending agent in liquid TCM formulations. By adjusting the concentration of PVA, it is possible to control the flow and rheological properties of the liquid, allowing for better dispersion and suspension of the active ingredients. This is particularly useful for TCM preparations that contain insoluble or poorly soluble herbal extracts or powders.   Another important application of PVA in TCM preparations is as a component in transdermal patches or topical formulations. Due to its biocompatibility and adhesive properties, PVA can act as a matrix material for delivering TCM active ingredients through the skin. The PVA matrix provides controlled release and prolonged drug delivery, facilitating the absorption of the herbal components into the systemic circulation.   In summary, polyvinyl alcohol has shown great potential in the field of modern traditional Chinese medicine preparations. Its film-forming, binding, viscosity modifying, and transdermal delivery properties contribute to the development of high-tech plastic packaging and improved product formulations, enhancing the efficacy and quality of TCM products.   Website: www.elephchem.com Whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com ElephChem Holding Limited, professional market expert in Polyvinyl Alcohol(PVA) and Vinyl Acetate–ethylene Copolymer Emulsion(VAE) with strong recognition and excellent plant facilities of international standards.

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is considered biodegradable due to its chemical structure and properties. PVA is a synthetic polymer that readily undergoes hydrolysis, which is the chemical reaction of a compound with water.    The biodegradability of PVA is attributed to the presence of hydroxyl (-OH) groups along its polymer chain. These hydroxyl groups make PVA water-soluble, allowing microorganisms, enzymes, and natural processes to break down the polymer over time.   When PVA is exposed to moisture or microorganisms, water molecules interact with the hydroxyl groups, causing the polymer chains to break apart. Microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, produce enzymes that can hydrolyze the PVA molecules further, ultimately converting them into simpler, non-toxic substances like carbon dioxide, water, and biomass.   The rate of PVA biodegradation depends on various factors such as temperature, pH, moisture content, microbial activity, and the specific formulation of PVA. PVA films or products with higher degrees of hydrolysis and lower molecular weights tend to biodegrade more rapidly.   Overall, the biodegradability of PVA contributes to its environmental friendliness, as it reduces the accumulation of persistent waste in ecosystems and can be a sustainable alternative to non-biodegradable materials in certain applications.   Website: www.elephchem.com Whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com ElephChem Holding Limited, professional market expert in Polyvinyl Alcohol(PVA) and Vinyl Acetate–ethylene Copolymer Emulsion(VAE) with strong recognition and excellent plant facilities of international standards.
