Polyvinyl Alcohol
Polyvinyl Alcohol
This fibre is made of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) PVA fibre is a synthetic fibre produced from PVOH resin as raw material. It has characteristics such as high strength, high modulus, low elongation, alkali resistance, weather resistance, and hydrophilicity. It has good affinity and binding with substrates such as cement and gypsum, and is non-toxic, pollution-free, and does not harm human skin. It is harmless to the human body and is one of the new generation of green building materials. This product can replace asbestos as a reinforcement and crack prevention material for cement and concrete. This fibre is very suitable for Engineered Cementitious Composites(ECC)
