Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a synthetic polymer that is soluble in water. It is obtained by the partial or complete hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate. Not characterized by a specific odor, it exhibits excellent resistance to oils, grease and solvents. It is also tasteless, translucent and highly biodegradable in nature, due to which it is utilized in film forming and emulsifying applications. PVA is widely utilized as a moisture barrier in the formulation of numerous pharmaceutical products, including medicines and supplements. It also finds applications in biomedical applications, food packaging, construction activities, printing and the cosmetics industry.
