PAPER
GOHSENOL™ (PVOH/PVA) is widely used as a paper surface treating resin. Coatings formulated with GOHSENOL™ (PVOH/PVA) enhance a paper's glossiness, printability and resistance to solvents and oils.
Our specialty PVOH/PVA, GOHSENX™ Z series can also provide water resistance thanks to it's ability to be cross-link. Our GOHSENX™ L series, which has superb dispersability, is also widely used as a colour developer for thermal recording paper and as a pigment dispersant.
ADHESIVES & EMULSIONS
GOHSENOL™ (PVOH/PVA) is widely used as a binder and thickener for adhesives thanks to it's excellent
physical and chemical characteristics. In addition, GOHSENOL™ (PVOH/PVA), thanks to it's excellent surface activity and protective colloid, is also used as an emulsifying and dispersing agent for acrylic and vinyl acetate monomers, as well as an inorganic pigment stabiliser.
PVC
GOHSENOL™ (PVOH/PVA) is widely used as a dispersing stabiliser for the suspension polymerization of Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM). The surface active performance in relation to Vinyl monomers can be optimised by selecting the appropriate grade of GOHSENOL™ (PVOH/PVA) characterized by its polymerisation and saponification degree.
COSMETICS
GOHSENOL™ (PVOH/PVA) is used widely in the cosmetics industry, for example, as a film forming agent for peel off packs, and as an emulsifier and thickener for lotions. MCPP Europe also offer for other products for cosmetics applications. For example, our newly developed amorphous PVOH/PVA, Nichigo G-Polymer™, can provide excellent retention properties for hair styling formulations.
AGRICULTURE
Agriculture is another typical application for GOHSENOL™ (PVOH/PVA). For example, fertiliser sticks for flowers and foliage plants are produced using GOHSENOL™ (PVOH/PVA) as a binder.
In addition, GOHSENOL™ (PVOH/PVA) can be used for the aggregation of field and horticultural soils, protecting sloping grounds from erosion and supporting the growth of lawn grass.
OTHER INDUSTRIES
GOHSENOL™(PVOH/PVA) has a wide range of other applications including:
- Textiles: Warp sizing (Spun & filament yarn), Finishing agent
- Water soluble products: Automotive, Electronic & Toy Industries, Detergent films
- Glass: Raw material of derivatives (PVB)
- Coatings: Gas barrier films and Coatings for Food Packaging, Paper and Industrial films
