PVA glue, also called polyvinyl alcohol glue, is a water-soluble glue commonly used in a variety of bonding applications.

What is PVA glue characteristic?

1. Water soluble

PVA glue is water soluble, which means it dissolves in water and can be easily cleaned with water.

2. Transparency

PVA glue is usually transparent or translucent, so it does not leave a noticeable color after drying, making it suitable for projects that require a transparent effect.

3. Non-toxic

PVA glue is generally non-toxic and therefore widely used in many educational and craft projects, especially those involving children.

4. Good strength

While PVA glue may not adhere as strongly as some other types of glue, it provides adequate adhesion strength for general household and craft applications.

5. Versatility

PVA glue can be used to bond paper, carboard, wood, cloth and some other porous materials. It's common in crafts, arts, school projects, and general home restoration.

6. Various forms

There are two main types of PVA glue, emulsion type and solid type. Emulsion PVA glue is in liquid form and is easy to use, while solid PVA glue is the solid form of glue and requires the addition of water for use.

7. Fast drying

PVA glue has a relatively short drying time, usually within a few hours, depending on the application and materials used.
