| What
is Gohsenol? |
| PVOH (polyvinyl alcohol)
is a polyvinyl resin having hydroxyl groups and
is obtained through saponification of polyvinyl
acetate (polymerized vinyl acetate). Being a representative
product of PVOH, GOHSENOL from The Nippon Synthetic
Chemical Industry Co. Ltd. has excellent water solubility,
bonding strength, membrane forming properties and
chemical stability. Furthermore, it is widely supported
in the form of various industrial raw materials
and processing aids by users in more than 50 countries,
including Japan. |

The safety glass used in automobile
windshields has to be able to stand
up to sharp impact without shattering.
Gohsenol is is the raw material used
in the middle layer of triple safety
glass. New materials are now under development
for soundproof and heatproof layers,
as well. |
