Polyvinyl alcohol 2488 (PVA 2488) is a water-soluble polymer. It binds particles together and forms a film as the material dries.
Main Functions
- Improves adhesion in mortar and adhesive formulations.
- Helps bind the fine particles in wall putty and reduce surface dusting.
- Forms a film that helps improve surface strength and abrasion resistance.
Uses
Dry-mix mortars, tile adhesives, wall putties, water-based adhesives, coatings, textile sizing and paper additives. It is also used as a protective colloid to help stabilize emulsions in RDP production.
