Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) 1799 Grade

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) 1799 is a water-soluble synthetic polymer with a hydrolysis degree of approximately 99%, produced from polyvinyl acetate through hydrolysis, retaining minimal unhydrolyzed acetate groups. It is supplied in primary form as white granular powder for industrial use in adhesives and textiles. Classified under HTS 3905.30.00.00 as it meets the definition of poly(vinyl alcohol) in primary forms.

Partially Hydrolyzed PVA 1788 Resin

PVA 1788 resin features 88% hydrolysis, containing notable unhydrolyzed acetate groups, making it suitable for packaging films and paper coatings. This primary form polymer is imported as free-flowing powder. It qualifies for HTS 3905.30.00.00 due to its explicit inclusion of poly(vinyl alcohol) with unhydrolyzed acetate groups.

High Viscosity PVA 0588 Powder

PVA 0588 is a low-hydrolysis (88%), high-viscosity grade used in emulsifiers and binders, containing unhydrolyzed acetate groups as per specification. Delivered in primary powder form for dissolution in water-based systems. Falls under HTS 3905.30.00.00 for poly(vinyl alcohol) variants.

PVA 117 Fully Hydrolyzed Granules

PVA 117 granules offer full hydrolysis (99%+) with trace unhydrolyzed acetate, ideal for textile sizing and ceramics. Primary form granules dissolve readily in hot water. HTS 3905.30.00.00 covers this as poly(vinyl alcohol) in granular primary form.
