Packaging and shipping
Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) is a water-soluble synthetic polymer with excellent film-forming, adhesive, and emulsifying properties. It is non-toxic, biodegradable, and resistant to oil, grease, and solvents, making it a highly versatile material across industrial, textile, paper, and packaging sectors.
Widely used in textile sizing, PVA enhances yarn strength and reduces breakage during weaving, while in paper manufacturing it improves surface smoothness, printability, and water resistance. In the adhesive industry, it serves as a key raw material for water-based glues, wood adhesives, and packaging adhesives, offering strong bonding strength and environmental safety. Additionally, PVA is applied in the production of water-soluble films, cosmetic thickeners, and pharmaceutical excipients, demonstrating its broad adaptability to diverse application scenarios.
Our company provides a full range of PVA grades with different polymerization degrees and alcoholysis levels, tailored to meet specific performance requirements. With stable supply, complete quality certifications, and technical support, we deliver reliable solutions for global industrial customers.




Product Description
Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) is a water-soluble synthetic polymer renowned for its excellent film-forming, adhesive, and emulsifying properties.
Non-toxic, biodegradable, and resistant to oils and solvents, it serves as a versatile raw material across industries such as textiles, paper, adhesives, and packaging.
With varying degrees of polymerization and alcoholysis, our PVA grades are tailored to meet precise performance demands, ensuring stable quality and reliable supply for global customers.
In the textile industry, PVA is widely used as a sizing agent to enhance yarn strength and reduce weaving breakage, while in paper manufacturing it improves surface smoothness, printability, and water resistance.
As a key adhesive ingredient, it forms the basis of water-based glues, wood adhesives, and packaging adhesives, offering strong bonding and environmental safety.
It also plays a vital role in producing water-soluble films, cosmetic thickeners, and pharmaceutical excipients.
For usage, in textile sizing, PVA is dissolved in water at 5–15% concentration; in adhesives, it is typically incorporated at 10–30% to achieve desired viscosity; and in paper coating, 2–8% addition ensures optimal surface performance.
