Homonym: PVA (Alcohol)
PVA, or polyvinyl acetate, is a type of synthetic polymer commonly used in adhesives, paints, and coatings. It is known for its strong bonding properties and versatility, making it a popular choice in various industries, including construction and arts and crafts. PVA is water-soluble, which means it can be easily cleaned up with water before it dries.
In addition to its adhesive applications, PVA is also used in the production of paper, textiles, and wood products. Its non-toxic nature and ability to form a flexible film make it suitable for many consumer products, including school glues and sealants.
