PVA is an advanced polymer textile material that can be used in many different applications due to the following special properties:
- Absorbs up to 10 times its weight in liquid (more than any other material available)
- Will absorb faster than any other material
- Will not drip when fully saturated
- Non-abrasive to any surface (safe enough for use on semi-conductor wafers)
- Flexible and soft when damp, yet very strong and durable
- Will not leave lint or other particles behind because it is not a fiber
- Ecologically friendly and biodegradable
- Easy to clean (machine washable)
- Can be used with chemicals ranging from pH 3-11
- Dries hard to resist mold and bacterial growth
- Low pressure drop/Friction loss when used as a filter
- Exceptional filtration ability
- Continuously porous structure easily traps surface dirt and particles
