Polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH, PVA, or PVAl) is a water-soluble synthetic polymer. It has the idealized formula [CH2CH(OH)]n. It is used in papermaking, textile warp sizing, as a thickener and emulsion stabilizer in polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) adhesive formulations, in a variety of coatings, and 3D printing.

In general, the gel temperature of HPMC is around 60℃-75℃ depending on its group content and different production technique. Due to the characteristics of MHEC group, it has a higher gel temperature, usually > 80℃.
HEMC can be used as a highly efficient water retention agent, adhesives and film-forming agent, stabilizer, etc. It is widely used in different industrial applications such as oil drilling, construction, and building, paint and coating, pharmaceutical, etc.

Improve workability: RDP can improve the workability and consistency of tile adhesives by reducing water demand, increasing plasticity, and reducing sagging. This is because RDP can act as a lubricant and a binder, which can improve the fluidity and cohesion of the mortar.
Redispersible polymer powder is made by water-based emulsion using a spray-drying process. It dissolves quickly in water, forming an emulsion. RDP powder is a key part of putty, and it plays an important role in how well the putty sticks.
