EXCEVAL™ is the polyvinyl alcohol of choice for water-resistant emulsions, for D3 adhesives and D4 adhesives. EXCEVAL™ produces coatings with excellent gas barriers towards oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide … even in high relative humidity. The resulting coatings are highly transparent and glossy, have a strong chemical resistance and provide good adhesion to metallization as well as excellent printability.
Barrier Films for Food Applications
EXCEVAL™ is an FDA certified product and can be used in paper coating formulas. It is the best candidate for non-fluoro chemical barrier agents in the next generation of grease-proof papers. KURARAY POVAL™ and EXCEVAL™ have outstanding film forming properties. With the ability to bond to cellulose materials, these polymers are excellent for improving the properties of paper packaging applications as a barrier against odor, grease and water.
