PVA for Wood Glue – High Performance Polyvinyl Alcohol for White Adhesives
Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) is the core raw material for wood glue (white glue), widely used in furniture manufacturing, plywood bonding, lamination, and woodworking assembly.
Choosing the right PVA grade directly determines:
- Bonding strength
- Drying speed
- Viscosity stability
- Final adhesive performance
At InnoNew Material, we supply a full range of PVA grades optimized for wood adhesives, including:
- Standard grade (1788)
- High strength grades (2488 / 2688)
- Fast drying grade (0588)
Why PVA is Essential for Wood Glue
- Excellent adhesion to wood fibers
- Strong film-forming ability
- Good flexibility and toughness
- Non-toxic & eco-friendly
- Compatible with various additives
👉 Compared with starch-based adhesives, PVA provides much higher bonding strength and durability
