There are various types of water soluble films available in the market. Some of them are EcoSol(r), a non-hazardous aqueous solution of polyvinyl alcohol, PVA, and Solublon. The types of water soluble films available in the market include hot and cold water soluble films.
EcoSol(r) is a non-hazardous aqueous solution of polyvinyl alcohol
EcoSol(r) is a biodegradable and water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol film, which is ideally suited for a wide variety of packaging applications. It has excellent organic solvent resistance, is biodegradable, and offers good mechanical properties. It is also suitable for the packaging of dry powders.
The demand for water soluble films is growing due to the rising demand for detergents. Many households and industries use detergents to clean their surfaces, while farmers are increasing the use of agrochemicals to increase agricultural production.
Terrasol(r) is a cold water soluble polyvinyl alcohol film
Terrasol(r) is a polyvinyl alcohol film made from a polymer called PVOH. This thermoplastic polymer is soluble in water and forms an excellent barrier. It has high tensile strength and is fully biodegradable. Its granules are tailor-made to suit a range of applications. Among other properties, Terrasol(r) has low shrinkage and is resistant to most organic solvents, oil, and water.
The physical properties of the polymer mixture are shown in Tables 1 and 2. The polymer mixture dissolving time in Example 1 is less than one minute, and it exhibits good behavior in the flexibility test. The other physical properties of the mixed polymer film are measured at 75 degrees F and relative humidity.
PVA is a hot water soluble polyvinyl alcohol film
Polyvinyl alcohol, or PVA, is a water soluble film polymer. Its physicochemical properties depend on how well it is cross-linked, the degree to which it is hydrolyzed during synthesis, and its permeability and biodegradation properties. PVA can be altered in its mechanical properties by copolymerization or blending with other monomers. This can greatly change its properties, including its water uptake and permeability.
Dissolution studies of PVA films showed that these films are able to withstand a droplet of water that has a concentration of 10% (w/v). The films were immersed in this solution for up to two hours to determine their time of dissolution. The dissolution times of the films were monitored by comparing their physical properties and visually examining them.
Solublon(r) is a cold water soluble polyvinyl alcohol film
The films of this invention are completely soluble in cold water at temperatures of 90 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. They are preferably 0.001 to 0.010 inches thick. The film is fully soluble in water in approximately 1 minute.
The water-soluble properties of this film make it ideal for the packaging of various products. They are especially useful for cleaning products and noxious substances. Some of the other applications for this type of film include: pesticides, fungicides, dyes, and food products.
Terrasol(r) is suitable for film extrusion
Terrasol(r) is a biodegradable plastic used in the packaging industry. It is suitable for blown film extrusion and is available in a variety of properties. It is made of corn starch, potato starch, and polylactic acid. The biodegradable plastics have a lower melting point than traditional plastics, but they are biodegradable.
Terrasol(r) is suitable for film applications due to its high opacity. It has excellent processing properties and a low volatile content, which minimizes the negative impact of extruded film quality. It is also suitable for blow molding and injection molding.
Terrasol(r) is suitable for film injection molding
As a thermoplastic, Terrasol(r) is a versatile, biodegradable material that can be processed using standard plastics processing methods, including film extrusion, injection molding, and blow molding. As a result, it’s ideal for water-soluble applications, including packaging, fibers, foams, hoses, profiles, and more.
