Polyvinyl alcohol also known as PVA is a kind of synthetic polymer that is soluble in water and also possesses unique properties which makes it a highly versatile polymer across various industries. Poly vinyl polymer is produced by the polymerization of vinyl acetate followed by a process called hydrolysis which removes the acetate groups to leave behind the hydrophilic alcohol groups. This transformation imparts PVA with its characteristic water solubility.
