PVA-2688 Polyvinyl Alcohol PVA White Granule For Adhesives, Paints and Coatings

PVA-2688 is a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) grade supplied in white granules, designed to deliver stable, consistent performance in processing and formulation. It features a hydrolysis degree of 86.5–89.0% with high viscosity (60.0–68.0 mPa·s, 4% solution, Brookfield, 20°C) and purity ≥94.0%, helping provide reliable thickening/film-forming and bonding behavior where a stronger body and higher build are required.

In terms of chemical resistance and compatibility, PVA-2688 is stable in almost all organic solvents and is not dissolved in animal and plant oils and grease, which can be beneficial for applications where exposure to oily media is expected or where oil resistance is needed in the finished system.

Key Benefits:

High viscosity build — 60.0–68.0 mPa·s (4% solution, 20°C) helps provide stronger body and consistent rheology.

Controlled hydrolysis level — 86.5–89.0% hydrolysis degree supports stable, repeatable performance across batches.

High purity — Purity ≥94.0% helps reduce unwanted impurities for more stable formulations.

Good formulation stability — Stable in almost all organic solvents, supporting broader system compatibility.

Oil & grease resistance (insoluble behavior) — Not dissolved in animal/plant oils and grease, useful for formulations exposed to oily media.

Product Advantages

  • Consistent quality parameters — Clear spec limits on volatile (≤4.5%), pH (5–7, 4% solution) and ash (Na₂O ≤0.5%) for reliable production control.
  • White granule form — Easy handling and feeding in industrial processing.
  • Balanced performance profile — Combines high viscosity with controlled hydrolysis degree for dependable application performance.
  • Wider compatibility window — Solvent stability plus non-dissolving behavior in oils/grease makes it easier to integrate into diverse manufacturing environments.

Product Applications

PVA-2688 White Granule Polyvinyl Alcohol is mainly used for:

Dissolving Method:

1.Fill the dissolving tank with a certain amount of water; keep the water temperature below 30°C.
2.Start the mixer, then add PVA slowly; the recommended feeding rate is about 10 kg/min.
3.Ensure the PVA powder is fully dispersed, typically 10–20 minutes.
4.After dispersion, heat the solution; it will dissolve completely when heated to 90°C for about 1 hour.

What is PVA-2688?

PVA-2688 is a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) supplied as white granules. It is designed for industrial formulation use where stable performance and consistent quality are required.

How does PVA-2688 behave in organic solvents?

PVA-2688 is described as stable in almost all organic solvents. This refers to stability/compatibility performance in those media, rather than being “fully dissolved” by them.

Why is viscosity important for PVA-2688 selection?

Viscosity indicates the thickening/build level a grade can provide. PVA-2688 has high viscosity (60–68 mPa·s at 4% solution, 20°C), making it a suitable option when you need stronger body, higher build, or more robust formulation structure.
