Selvol™ 840

Improved partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol resin. Can be used as a modifier in polyvinyl acetate emulsion-based adhesives or as the major component in other adhesives. Provides high tensile strength, ease of film formation, very good adhesion to cellulosic substrates such as paper and wood and bonding characteristics. Shows resistance to greases, petroleum hydrocarbons and animal or vegetable oils, and to organic solvents. Can be crosslinked through its secondary hydroxyl functionality. Offers improved water solubility and lower foaming in emulsion polymerization applications. Applications : polymerization.
