Anionic PVOH T Series

GOHSENX™ T Series

An anionic specialty modified PVOH having a carboxyl group on its side chain.
As a coating agent (especially for paper), adhesive, and binder, GOHSENX™ T has earned a great reputation globally as well as domestically for its excellent solubility, bonding power, and reactivity of the carboxyl group.

Structural formula

Structural formula T series

Properties
  • ・Its aqueous solution behaves as a polymer electrolyte.
  • ・Excellent solubility in water compared with ordinary PVOH.
  • ・Its aqueous solution is excellent in viscosity stability, and hardly to occur to abnormalities in fluidity under high shear speed; therefore, high speed coating is possible.
  • ・Excellent solubility in aqueous alkali solutions.
  • ・Features good compatibility with water-soluble polymers such as starch.
  • ・Forms a chelate with a metal ion (in particular, aluminum ion) to cross-link and insolubilize the metal ion.
  • ・Greatly improves the surface and Z-axis strength of paper when coated.
  • ・Features much better barrier properties than ordinary PVOH.

Applications:
The possible applications of GOHSENX™ T include:

Paper treatment agents
Improves surface and Z-axis strength as well as printability, and prevents vessel pick.
A partially saponified type is effective for improving barrier properties; therefore, used as an undercoating agent for silicon release paper.
Plywood adhesives
Improves initial bonding strength
Cement mortar agents
Excellent stability under alkalinity conditions
