Polyvinyl acetate, PVA, PVAc, poly(ethenyl ethanoate), is a rubbery synthetic polymer with the formula (C4H6O2)n. It belongs to the polyvinyl esters family with the general formula -[RCOOCHCH2]-. It is a type of thermoplastic.[1]
It should not be confused with the related polymer polyvinyl alcohol, which is called PVA also (PVAc could be considered a technically correct abbreviation for polyvinyl acetate and would aid in avoiding such confusion).
Polyvinyl acetate is a component of a widely-used type of glue, referred to variously as wood glue, white glue, carpenter's glue, school glue or PVA glue.
Polyvinyl acetate was discovered in Germany in 1912 by Dr. Fritz Klatte.[2]
The monomer, vinyl acetate, was on an industrial scale first produced by addition of acetic acid to acetylene with a Mercury(I) salt[3] but it is now primarily made by palladium catalyzed oxidative addition of acetic acid to ethylene.
PVA glue is used for joining paper, card and wood.
What else can I help you with?
What material does PVA normally glue?
PVA is for gluing, paper, card and wood.
Can pva glue be used without wearing gloves?
Yes, PVA glue can be used without gloves.
Can pva glue be used on wood?
Yes, PVA glues can be used on wood.
What glue to use to fix polystyrene to another material?
pva
What kind of glue is used to glue wood?
Pva wood glue
What is stronger than PVA glue?
It depends on the glue and what it's used for. Many glues are stronger than PVA, but may not be suitable on wood as PVA is.
Can pva be used as puzzle glue?
If this means to stick a jigsaw puzzle together, then YES, PVA or white glue is best.
What pva glue looks like?
PVA glue is white glue, yellow glue or Elmer's glue.
What is PVA used for?
PVA glue can be used as a bond in wood, paper, cloth and in porous material. It is the most commonly used wood glue. It is also termed as carpenter's glue or yellow glue. Sometimes white glues are also used in proving bond between wooden surfaces. These glues are well used in surfaces where water resistance is required. Little glue can bind more pieces of wood. However, the carpenter needs to clamp the glue until it dries.
Is pva glue the same as school glue?
- All white or yellow wood and paper glues are PVA based.
Is PVA glue temporary?
No, if hardened properly PVA is a permanent glue.
Is PVA glue a liquid?
Yes, PVA glue is a liquid, it's in white glue, Elmer's glue and Yellow glue.
