   The use of PVAc on the Archimedes Palimpsest during the 20th century greatly hindered the task of disbinding the book and preserving and imaging the pages in the early 21st century, in part because the glue was stronger than the parchment it held together. [7] In handicrafts. As envelope adhesive. As wallpaper adhesive.

3. Polyvinyl alcohol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinyl_alcohol

   Polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH, PVA, or PVAl) is a water-soluble synthetic polymer.It has the idealized formula [CH 2 CH(OH)] n.It is used in papermaking, textile warp sizing, as a thickener and emulsion stabilizer in polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) adhesive formulations, in a variety of coatings, and 3D printing.

4. Wood glue - Wikipedia

   Household PVA glue. Polyvinyl acetate (PVA), also known as "white glue", "hobby and craft" or “school glue” is non toxic, PH neutral, inexpensive, and easy to use, and is therefore the most commonly used type of wood glue. Joints should be tight fitting and clamped during curing for maximum strength.

5. Ethylene-vinyl acetate - Wikipedia

   The material has good clarity and gloss, low-temperature toughness, stress-crack resistance, hot-melt adhesive waterproof properties, and resistance to UV radiation. EVA has a distinctive vinegar-like odor and is competitive with rubber and vinyl polymer products in many electrical applications.

6. Vinyl acetate - Wikipedia

   Due to the instability of the radical, attempts to control the polymerization by most "living/controlled" radical processes have proved problematic. However, RAFT (or more specifically, MADIX) polymerization offers a convenient method of controlling the synthesis of PVA by the addition of a xanthate or a dithiocarbamate chain transfer agent.

7. Animal glue - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_glue

   Animal glue was the most common woodworking glue for thousands of years until the advent of synthetic glues, such as polyvinyl acetate (PVA) and other resin glues, in the 20th century. Today it is used primarily in specialty applications, such as lutherie , pipe organ building , piano repairs, and antique restoration.
