What is Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) Cold Grade?
Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) Cold Grade is a water-soluble synthetic polymer known for its film-forming, adhesive, thickening, and emulsifying properties. Unlike hot-soluble grades, this version dissolves efficiently in cold or room-temperature water, making it ideal for fast-dissolving applications in various industries like textile sizing, adhesives, paper coating, detergents, and cosmetics.
PVA Cold is a non-toxic, non-corrosive, biodegradable polymer with high tensile strength and flexibility, making it a preferred choice for eco-conscious and industrial applications alike.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. What is the difference between hot and cold PVA?
Cold PVA dissolves in room-temperature water, while hot PVA needs heating above 80°C. Cold grade is preferred for quick mixing applications.
Q2. Can it be used in peel-off cosmetic masks?
Yes, PVA is widely used in gel-based peel-off masks due to its film-forming ability and skin-safe profile.
Q3. Is PVA biodegradable?
Yes. It is environmentally safe and decomposes into harmless substances in nature.
Q4. Is it safe for skin contact?
✅ Yes, when formulated properly. It’s non-toxic and non-irritating.
