PVA 1799 (PVA BF17)

PVA 1799 (PVA BF17) has excellent film forming, , and properties. It is also resistant to oil, grease and . PVA 1799 (PVA BF17) is odorless and nontoxic. It has high tensile strength and flexibility, as well as high oxygen and aroma barrier properties. However these properties are dependent on , in other words, with higher humidity more water is absorbed. The water, which acts as a plasticiser, will then reduce its tensile strength, but increase its elongation and tear strength. PVA is fully degradable and is a quick dissolver. PVA has a melting point of 230°C and 180190°C for the fully hydrolysed and partially hydrolysed grades. It decomposes rapidly above 200°C as it can undergo at high temperatures.

PVA 1799 (PVA BF17) is an material but exhibits as the groups are small enough to fit into the lattice without disrupting it.
