Applications of Water-Soluble PVA in Textile Manufacturing

Applications

Where water-soluble PVA earns its place in a production line — and what to confirm before choosing a grade.

Towel weaving & zero-twist

Temporary PVA yarn supports pile and zero-twist constructions during weaving, then removes completely in finishing so the towel keeps its loft and absorbency.
