PVA 2699 and PVA 179 are high-quality polyvinyl alcohol products. However, they are different in properties that enable them to find diverse applications in various industries. PVA 2699, for instance, has a high molecular weight which makes it capable of forming durable films and hence is ideal for robust packaging applications. On the other hand, PVA 179 has superior dissolvability in water and is more flexible and therefore is an ideal polyvinyl alcohol for adhesives, textile and many other applications. Knowing the specifics of these products helps the companies to refine their processes and achieve the desired results.
