What is PVA?
PVA / PVOH films, or Polyvinyl Alcohol films, are water-soluble and biodegradable materials used in packaging and various other applications. They dissolve in water, leaving no harmful residues, making them eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plastics.
Why Choose PVA Packaging?
PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) films are revolutionizing the way businesses think about packaging and material solutions. With their unique combination of environmental friendliness and performance, these dissolvable films offer a sustainable alternative that doesn’t compromise on quality.
WATERSOL PVOH Film
Arrow Greentech Ltd. – now a leading packaging company, registered in Mumbai, Maharashtra, having its corporate headquarters in Europe, started this journey in 1992. Keeping “innovation” at the core, Watersol, Arrow’s Water Soluble Film, went through its first trial in 1985. This initiative set India as the first producers of water soluble films, making a significant mark in the world map. The makers of Watersol PVA Films, have always envisioned a green future and with its star product, this vision turned into a reality. A PVA film that dissolves when in contact with water, leaves no residue and is 100% environmental-friendly.
Features of Watersol PVOH Film
Biodegradable
Our PVA films break down into water and carbon dioxide when exposed to microorganisms in the environment. This process leaves no harmful residue, aligning with eco-friendly disposal practices.
Environmentally-Safe
The dissolvable and biodegradable properties of PVA films make it environmentally safe. This reduces plastic waste and minimizes the cause of pollution in oceans and landfills. Watersol PVA films prove to be a sustainable alternative to conventional plastics.
Flexibility
Our PVA films are flexible due to their polymer chains. It allows easy bending and shaping without any breakage. This flexibility makes them ideal for wrapping and packaging applications, adapting to different shapes and sizes.
Thermal Stability
Watersol PVA films remain effective in both low- and high-temperature environments. This stability makes them suitable for a wide range of applications, ensuring performance is never compromised.
Water-Soluble
The chemical structure of our PVA films is water-soluble. When the film interacts with water molecules, it causes the film to dissolve. This solubility varies with temperature and film composition, allowing for controlled dissolution.
Optimum Tensile Strength
The molecular structure of our PVA films exhibit high tensile strength, forming strong hydrogen bonds. This characteristic allows the films to withstand stress and stretching, making them durable for various applications.
Barrier Properties
Our PVA films provide excellent barrier properties against gasses and odors. This makes them an essential for sustainable packaging solutions. Whether it’s preserving freshness or containing materials, our films ensure your contents stay secure.
Chemical Resistance
Where chemical exposure is a concern, our PVA films provide reliable protection. They are equipped to resist many chemicals, including oils, greases, and organic solvents.
