Chemical Engineering-POLYVINYL ALCOHOL
 
Polyvinyl alcohol , abbreviated to PVA or PVOH, less frequently to PVAL, is a low quantity, high quality component of many high performance polymers. European consumption is currently estimated at around 180,000 t/y, out of global consumption of nearly 1m t/y.
