Anionic PVOH T Series

The product is a specially modified anionic PVOH with a carboxyl group in the molecular structure.

As a coating agent (especially for paper), adhesive, and binder, the product has been widely used both in global and domestic markets based on the excellent solubility, bonding strength, and reactivity due to its carboxyl group.

・Aqueous solutions exhibit polyelectrolyte behavior.
・Excellent water solubility
・The aqueous solution has excellent viscosity stability, is less prone to flow abnormalities under high shear rates, and has good high-speed coating properties.
・Excellent solubility in aqueous alkali solutions
・ Features favorable compatibility with water-soluble polymers, such as starch
・Forms a chelate with metal ions (especially aluminum ions), crosslinks them, and insolubilizes them.
・Greatly improves the surface and Z-axis strength of paper when coated
・Effectively improves the barrier performance of paper

Paper treatment agents
The product improves the surface strength, printability, and Z-axis strength of paper and prevents vessel pick.
A partially saponified type is effective for improving barrier properties, and is therefore used as an undercoating agent for silicon release paper.

Plywood adhesives
Improves initial bonding strength

Cement mortar agents
Excellent stability under alkaline conditions
