Wanwei PVA 2088

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a long-used additive in textiles and papermaking. It's great because it makes strong films, sticks well, dissolves in water, and is safe for the environment. However, to meet the increasingly stringent demands of modern industry for material performance, processing efficiency, and environmental responsibility, traditional PVA is being replaced by modified PVA. Modified Polyvinyl Alcohol optimizes its structure and functionality through chemical and/or physical means, enabling it to offer unmatched advantages over traditional PVA in two key industries. 1. Textile Industry: A Performance Leap from Sizing to Printing and Dyeing In textiles, PVA mainly sizes warp yarns. It coats the yarn with a thin layer before weaving, which makes the yarn stronger and less likely to break. This makes weaving easier and improves the quality of the fabric. High-Performance and Efficient Warp Sizing Enhanced Adhesion and Abrasion Resistance: By introducing hydrophilic or hydrophobic groups and performing graft copolymerization, PVA can enhance its affinity with various fibers (such as polyester, cotton, and blends), resulting in a tougher and more abrasion-resistant sizing film. This means that yarn breakage rates are further reduced on high-speed, high-density looms, significantly improving production efficiency. Better Sizing and Eco-Friendly Solution: Regular PVA needs high heat and strong alkalinity to remove sizing, which wastes energy and makes dirty water. Modified PVA, with its sizing properties, can be taken off fast with less harsh conditions. This cuts washing time, saves energy, and reduces wastewater treatment, fitting well with green textile plans. Antistatic and Smooth Properties: Modified PVA can really help with static in yarns. They stop static from building up when the yarn rubs together fast during weaving. This keeps the weaving process running smoothly. Diverse Applications in Printing, Dyeing, and Finishing Modified PVA acts as a thickener in printing pastes. It's also a coating and binder for nonwoven materials. This gives textiles special finishes, improving their feel, water resistance, or flame retardancy.   2. Papermaking Industry: A Core Additive for Improving Quality and Functionality In the papermaking industry, PVA is primarily used for surface sizing and internal sizing/filler retention, playing a decisive role in the printability, strength, and special properties of paper. Surface Sizing: Optimizing Printability and Paper Strength Excellent Film Formation and Ink Resistance: Using special PVA on paper makes a solid, even layer. This stops ink or coatings from soaking in. The result is clearer printing, shinier paper, and a stronger surface. This is particularly important in the production of high-quality coated paper, inkjet paper, and specialty paper.  Improved Wet/Dry Strength: Adding cross-linking or reactive groups to modified PVA lets it make stronger bonds with pulp fibers. This boosts the paper's strength when it's dry or wet. Internal Sizing and Functional Paper Manufacturing Retention and Drainage Aids: Cationic modified PVA can be used as a retention aid to improve the retention of fine fibers and fillers, saving raw materials and improving paper uniformity. Specialty Paper: In the manufacture of thermal and pressure-sensitive paper, as well as high-barrier food packaging paper, modified PVA, due to its excellent barrier properties (such as low permeability to oxygen and gases) and good biodegradability, is an irreplaceable choice over other polymer materials.   3. Ongoing Green Commitment The importance of modified PVA lies not only in its high performance but also in its environmental credentials. PVA's inherent biodegradability and water solubility (depending on the degree of polymerization and modification) make it a "green" alternative to some traditional synthetic polymers (such as acrylics and styrenes). Through precise modification, the industry can achieve higher material recycling rates and a lower environmental footprint while ensuring product performance.   Modified PVA(such as Modified PVA 8048) represents a new era of traditional additives and is a key step in the textile and papermaking industries' transition from "manufacturing" to "smart manufacturing." With increasing demands for sustainable development and product quality, research into functionalizing, compounding, and environmentally friendly PVA modifications is expected to continue in-depth, providing a strong impetus for the future development of these two pillar industries.   Website: www.elephchem.com Whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com

Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) is a versatile and widely used water-soluble synthetic polymer. Although commonly for its applications in the adhesive and film industries, PVA has gained significant recognition in the field of agriculture. Its unique properties make it an invaluable asset for various agricultural practices, contributing to improved crop yields, efficient water usage, and enhanced soil quality.   PVA-based adhesives are utilized as a coating agent for seeds, helping to enhance adherence, provide controlled release of nutrients, and protect against pests and diseases. By using PVA as a binder for beneficial bioactive substances, such as growth promoters and pesticides, farmers can achieve precise and targeted delivery, reducing environmental impact and optimizing plant protection efficiency.   Unstable soils, prone to erosion, can negatively impact crop growth and nutrient retention. PVA emulsions or films are applied to soil surfaces to control soil erosion by stabilizing the soil structure. This protective layer acts as a barrier, reducing water runoff, preventing soil compaction, and minimizing nutrient leaching. PVA film also serves as an effective weed control measure, suppressing weed growth and competition.   Water scarcity is an ongoing concern in agriculture. PVA's water-soluble nature allows for the controlled release of water and nutrients to plants, ensuring proper hydration while minimizing wastage. PVA-based Mulch films are widely used to retain soil moisture, regulate soil temperature, and prevent weed growth. Additionally, these films are biodegradable, leaving no harmful residues behind.   PVA (PVA 088-35 & PVA 2088)  hydrogel formulations are beneficial in increasing water holding capacity and providing a reservoir of water for plant roots. This hydrogel application can improve seed germination, enhance rooting, and support the establishment of seedlings in arid or dry regions. The hydrogel's ability to retain moisture and nutrients promotes vigorous plant growth, leading to better crop development and increased yields.   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.

Modification of inorganic cementitious materials such as cement with polymer emulsion has been widely used. Since the water in the emulsion will immediately react with the cement after mixing the two and finally solidify, a two-component form is used in most cases. , measure and mix each component in proportion at the construction site. This brings inconvenience to the storage, transportation and construction of materials. The emergence of re-dispersible emulsion powder has changed the above phenomenon. Redispersible latex powder is a micron-sized thermoplastic resin powder obtained by spray-drying a polymer emulsion to remove water. It can be reduced to an emulsion after adding water.Due to this characteristic, it is widely used in single-component JS waterproof coatings, polystyrene board bonding mortars for building insulation, flexible surface protection mortars, polystyrene particle insulation coatings, ceramic tile adhesives, self-leveling mortars, dry-mix mortars, etc. It is widely used in fields that require modification of inorganic cementitious materials.   RDP is a polymer powder produced by spray drying of polymer emulsion. Polymer emulsions are mostly oil-in-water systems in which thermoplastic polymers with a solid content of about 50% are evenly distributed in water with fine particles (0.1-10 μm). After losing water, the polymer particles first form dense spheres and accumulate on the surface. Under the action of energy, discrete polymer particles form a continuous polymer body. To produce redispersible latex powder by the spray drying method, a layer of PVA protective film is added to the surface of the polymer in advance. Due to the existence of the protective film, the dry powders cannot merge. In order to prevent the rubber powder from agglomerating, some fine mineral powders are also added. , such as clay, etc. However, when redispersible latex powder is mixed with alkaline substances such as cement and water, the PVA(PVA 088-35 & PVA 2088)will be saponified and adsorbed by the quartz in the sand and removed. The rubber powder that has lost its protective film can eventually form a continuous water-insoluble polymer. membrane.   The particle size of the rubber powder (5-250 μm) is much larger than the particle size of the polymer dispersed phase in the emulsion (0.1-10 μm), indicating that the latex particles will agglomerate during the spray drying process. In order to reduce the tendency of polymer powder to agglomerate during long-term storage, inert fluid materials such as clay, talc, silica and other fine particles are usually added to the dry powder as anti-stick fillers. The filler is determined according to the type of polymer and its glass transition temperature. The dosage is generally 8%-30% of the dry polymer powder, which is the main source of ash in redispersible latex powder. After redispersible latex powder is redispersed, the diameter of the latex particles becomes about (0.1-10μm).   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.
