Features Of Kuraray POVAL PVA 420H Polyvinyl Alcohol

  1. High degree of hydrolysis (≥98.5 mol%) for excellent water solubility and film strength.

  2. Controlled viscosity grade (4% aqueous solution at 20°C: ~20–24 mPa·s) enabling precise rheology management in formulations.

  3. Low residual acetate content (<1.5 mol%) ensuring superior chemical stability and reduced odor.

  4. Excellent adhesion to polar substrates including paper, cellulose, metals, and ceramics.

  5. Biodegradable and non-toxic profile compliant with FDA 21 CFR §177.2400 for indirect food contact applications.

Typical Applications Of Kuraray POVAL PVA 420H Polyvinyl Alcohol

  1. Water-soluble packaging films for agrochemicals, detergents, and industrial concentrates.

  2. Binder in ceramic green body formation and tape casting for electronic substrates.

  3. Temporary protective coating for metal parts during electroplating or anodizing.

  4. Thickener and film former in water-based textile printing pastes and pigment dispersions.

  5. Dispersing aid and stabilizer in aqueous pigment and nanomaterial suspensions.
