Chemical Engineering-POLYVINYL ALCOHOL

Clipped to the Drawing Board by Susan Decker

Polyvinyl alcohol , abbreviated to PVA or PVOH, less frequently to PVAL, is a low quantity, high quality component of many high performance polymers. European consumption is currently estimated at around 180,000 t/y, out of global consumption of nearly 1m t/y. The main driving force behind the consistent annual growth of 5% is its use as a raw material for polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayers of laminated safety glass in applications such as automotive glazing and building facades. World market leader is Celanese (Dallas, Texas / USA; www.celanese.com).
