[edit] Another use
PVA is also used as a spray on mold release in some types of plastics fabrication, especially glass reinforced polyester or epoxy resin. Its water soluble and biodegradeable properties make it easy to completely remove from the molds and fabricated parts simply by washing with water.
PVA is widely used as binder to improved the green strength and pressability in soft ferrite materials. PVA together with plasticizer has an great impact to develop green strength in intricate part made with soft ferrite material.e.g. MnZn Ferrite, NiZn Ferrite
PVA is used in the biomedical research field as a salt bridge (when saturated with a supporting electrolyte) in microscale electrochemical applications. It is also used as a supporting medium for cryomicrotomy sectioning of tissue for histological study.
