PVA film is a water soluble film made from polyvinyl alcohol resins. Due to its water soluble property, it is widely used for water soluble small dose packaging such as detergent, agrochemical, water treatment chemical, and dyes. Apart from packaging its water soluble property facilitates PVA film consumption in embroidery and laundry bag manufacturing. The film has another unique property viz. polarization which makes it an essential raw material for polarizer film used in liquid crystal display (LCD) panels, lenses, optical filters, etc.
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film is widely used for packaging and production of polarizer film. Polyvinyl alcohol films is a water soluble biodegradable film and facilitates water soluble small dose packaging of detergents, water treatment chemicals, agrochemicals, and dyes. Those small water soluble doses provides ease-of-use and avoid human contact from the inside material. Apart from packaging applications, the Polyvinyl alcohol film is also used for laundry bags and embroidery applications where the film is used as water soluble film.
