Our PVA 0588 is a partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol with a degree of polymerization of approximately 500 and a degree of hydrolysis of 87-89%. It dissolves readily in cold water, making it ideal for applications where quick dissolution without heating is required. This grade is particularly suited for use as a non-woven fabric binder, cosmetic thickener, and in water-soluble agricultural seed coatings.
