Building and Construction Applications
Manufacturers can use our Selvol™ polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) resin in an array of building and construction applications:
- Caulks and sealants
- Joint compounds (such as joint cements and drywall mud)
- Redispersible powders (such as grouts and mortars)
- Indirect components in industrial and construction adhesives
For building and construction, Selvol delivers added binding power, thickening and moisture retention. Using the proper grade, Selvol also contributes to balanced critical properties, such as open time, sandability, spreadability and slip resistance.
