PVOH for blown film and injection molding.A new extrudable polyvinyl alcohol polyvinyl alcohol, n a complex alcohol that is soluble in water and is used as an emulsifier and adhe-sive. compound is especially formulated for blown films to be used in place of solution-cast PVOH PVOH Polyvinyl Alcohol films. Developed by A. Schulman, Akron, Ohio Akron is a city in the U.S. state of Ohio and the county seat of Summit County.GR6 The municipality is located in northeastern Ohio on the Cuyahoga River between Cleveland to the north and Canton to the south, approximately 60 miles (96 km) west of , AquaSol is a water-soluble polymer that uses a proprietary PVOH technology for such film applications as packaging for detergents and chemicals, barrier films, graphics films, and disposable medical supplies (e.g., medical laundry bags that go directly into the washing machine). In its crystallized crys·tal·lize also crys·tal·ize v. crys·tal·lized also crys·tal·ized, crys·tal·liz·ing also crys·tal·iz·ing, crys·tal·liz·es also crys·tal·iz·es v.tr. 1. form, this compound reportedly has the same physical characteristics as plastic film. According to market development manager Richard Schmidt, AquaSol overcomes problems with gels and smoking during extrusion experienced in past attempts to commercialize a melt-processable PVOH, AquaSol reportedly can be processed easily in conventional LL/LDPE blown film equipment. The company is also performing injection molding field trials in applications where LDPE LDPE abbr. low-density polyethylene is typically used and there is a need for a biodegradable material.
