KURARAY POVAL™ 49-88 by Kuraray is a partially saponified polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) grade. This grade is water-soluble polymer manufactured by alcoholysis of polyvinyl acetate. It is used as an adhesive promoter. It is suitable for modification of emulsion adhesives and remoistenable adhesives in the paper processing industry. It is used in postage stamps and labels. Aqueous solution of KURARAY POVAL™ 49-88 can be added to polymer emulsion which is already stabilized with polyvinyl alcohol to extend the open time, increase setting speed and influence the rheology. Its shelf life is 12 months. Complies with EU Directive 67/548/EC regulation.

KURARAY POVAL™ 3-80 (Old name: PVA 403) by Kuraray is polyvinyl alcohol with colloid-chemical and excellent film-forming properties, and a high tensile strength. KURARAY POVAL™ 3-80 is used as a component of remoistenable adhesives, e.g. for postage stamps. In addition, the polymers are highly elastic and resistant to heat and organic solvents. Above all, the range of applications is based on the chemical properties, especially on the reactivity of the numerous hydroxyl groups with substances such as reactive resins, aldehydes and other reactive compounds.

Elvanol™ 71-30 by Kuraray is a fully hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol. It shows excellent resistance to oil, grease, water and solvents. It offers high tensile strength, flexibility, high oxygen barrier and film forming characteristics. On evaporation of water, transparent films are formed which have high tensile strength and tear resistance. The binder characteristics of Elvanol® 71-30 offer excellent adhesion to porous and hydrophilic surfaces. It is widely used in the paper industry at the size press and calendar stack, and in adhesives tackified with boric acid. Recommended for paper and paperboard, as a component in industrial adhesives for bonding paper, textiles, leather, in bag adhesives and pastes. It is also used in corrugated container board, laminating adhesives which are used in the manufacture of solid fiberboard, linear board, spiral wound tubes and cores and laminated specialties. It complies with FDA.

MAKON® 10 is a high-active nonionic surfactant with applications in various fields, including agriculture, detergents, sanitizers, industrial cleaners, metal cleaners, textile applications, and paper deinking. It belongs to the category of nonylphenol ethoxylates and serves as an emulsifier, adjuvant, and wetting agent. This product is kosher-certified.
