Polyvinyl Alcohol

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a water-soluble, synthetic polymer known for its film-forming, adhesive, and emulsifying properties, used in adhesives, paper, textiles, and even as an artificial tear for dry eyes due to its non-toxic, biocompatible nature. It's a white, odorless powder that offers strength, flexibility, and excellent oxygen barrier qualities, manufactured from vinyl acetate monomer and valued for diverse industrial, medical, and household applications.
