Aquazol® polymers has unusually broad solubility in water and polar organic solvents. Aquazol's excellent thermal stability makes it a preferred substitute for PVOH and PVP in high temperature applications. It is used in a variety of hot-melt and pressure-sensitive adhesive products, gained acceptance in the ceramics industry as a greenware binder because of the clean burn-out. Currently Aquazol® high perfomance non-ionic polymer found its way into conservation as painting / retouching binder, acid-free adhesive and consolidant.
