Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA), is a water-soluble synthetic polymer derived from the partial hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate. It appears as a white to off-white powder or granules and dissolves readily in water to form clear, viscous solutions. Known for its excellent film-forming, emulsifying, and adhesive properties, PVA is widely used in industrial applications such as paper coatings, textile sizing, adhesives, and packaging films. Its chemical stability, low toxicity, and biodegradability also make it suitable for use in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and specialty formulations requiring controlled release or moisture resistance.
