Dial in PVC porosity and plasticiser uptake.

POVAL L-11 is a low-hydrolysis secondary PVA. Blended with a primary suspending agent like GOHSENOL KH-17, L-11 influences the internal structure of the growing PVC particle — creating the porous network that determines how readily the finished resin absorbs plasticiser during compounding. Getting the primary/secondary PVA ratio right is the difference between a compound-grade and a film-grade resin. We'll share ratio recommendations based on your target grade.
