This medium-viscosity PVA 1788 is a partially hydrolyzed grade that dissolves in cold water, offering low foam generation and stable viscosity under high-speed stirring. It is designed for paper surface sizing and coating applications, improving smoothness, printability, oil resistance, and tensile strength. With low odor and food indirect contact suitability, it is ideal for food packaging and carton lamination.

| Viscosity (4% solution, 20°C) | 20–30 mPa·s (typical for 1788) |
| Solubility | Cold water soluble |
| Form | White powder or flake |
This product is available as PVA 1788. For other applications, we also offer PVA 2488 and PVA 0588. Mesh size can be customized between 80-120 mesh for specific coating equipment.
PVA is a water-soluble polymer produced by alcoholysis of polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), offering excellent film-forming and binding properties.
We can adjust viscosity and mesh size within a range to meet specific production needs. Our technical team provides formulation support for paper coating.
While we do not have a specific paper industry case study in our records, our PVA grades have been widely used in similar applications globally. We can provide technical support to optimize your paper coating formula.
PVA 1788 is water-based and not suitable for hot-melt systems. It is typically used in water-based adhesives and coatings.
Yes, it meets indirect food contact safety standards, but we recommend checking with your local regulatory body for final compliance.
Add PVA 1788 slowly to cold water with gentle agitation. It dissolves within 30-60 minutes under continuous stirring. Avoid high shear to prevent foaming.
