In the case of conventional fully hydrolyzed
PVOH, although the mechanical properties like film strength
tends to be better but its aqueous solution easily form gel
during the storage at low temperature.
Fully hydrolyzed type HP-Polymer solution can be stored at
low temperature without gelation, even it has same mechanical
properties with conventional fully hydrolyzed PVOH. The following
figures show the viscosity stability of HP-Polymer solution,
compared with those of conventional PVOH. PVA-117 is conventional
fully hydrolyzed PVOH and it has good mechanical properties,
however it does not have enough solution stability. PVA-217
is conventional partially hydrolyzed PVOH and has good
solution stability but its mechanical properties tend to be
worse.
HP-Polymer provides both good mechanical properties and sufficient
stable solution.
In addition HP-Polymer can come through the demand for increasing
the concentration of its solution. |
