* High tenacity
* Low-elongation
* High modulus
* Low creep
* Heat resistance
* Incompressibility
* UV Resistant
* Water Soluble
* Acid Resistance
* Alkali Resisitance
* Weatherability
These properties make it adaptable for the following uses, among them are:
* Reinforcing rubber hoses and rollers
* Geo-textiles
* Fishing Industry applications
* Consumer textiles
* Manufacturing ropes and other industrial textiles
* Agricultural canvas, nets and more
* Reinforcing concrete for construction industry
* 3D printing applications
This fiber is able to reinforce many different materials, is pliable, and compared to other materials, is very compact. PVA is also highly adaptable. Depending on the specific application, PVA yarns can be designed to possess higher or lower tenacity, to have higher or lower elongation, and to come in a various weights and thicknesses. Another benefit of PVA is that because it is water-soluble, it is easily washed away. In 3D printing, for example, PVA fiber can support a structure and then be dissolved away after it is no longer needed.
