Polyvinyl Acetal - A member of the family of vinyl plastics. Polyvinyl acetal is the general name for resins produced from a condensation of polyvinyl alcohol with an aldehyde. There are three main groups: polyvinyl acetal itself; polyvinyl butyl, and polyvinyl formal. Polyvinyl acetal resins are thermoplastics which can be processed by casting, extruding, molding and coating, but their main uses are in adhesives, lacquers, coatings and films.
