Performance Advantages

When polymerized to form Aquazol@, Etox offers considerable advantages
over similar products like PVP (polyvinyl pyrrolidone) or PVOH (polyvinyl
alcohol). Its excellent thermal-processing capability makes it the preferred
choice in high-temperature applications — for instance, steel quench in
metalworking and hot-melt adhesive products. Aquazol is also one of the
few water-soluble polymers that can be extruded.
