2 unusual facts about PVA


Cut-resistant gloves

The cut protection is provided high performance materials such as Para aramid (Twaron, Kevlar), HPPE (High Performance Poly Ethylene, Dynema, Spectra), special PVA yarns (SupraBlock) or steelfibre and fibreglass yarns.

Rabbit-skin glue

Setting of the glue occurs with cooling and drying, so the working time is very short, on the order of minutes, to stick the parts together and get full strength, unlike PVA glue which might provide 20–30 minutes.
