Water Soluble film : Packaging
PVA film has good water solubility and it can dissolve at different temperatures
with different dissolving pace.
PVA film has been widely used in the packaging of fertilizers, pesticide,
dyestuffs, detergent, water-sewer additives, mineral additives, cement additives etc.
Problem of disposal of packaging is completely eliminated.
Water soluble film is completely Bi-degradable.
Highly reactive chemicals can also be packed.
Embossed Toilet block -PVA
WSF film PODS -Liquid
What is Water Soluble Film (WSF) ?
What it is?
Water Soluble Film : It is PVA/PVOH
Packaging material is environmentally safe & fully
biodegradable when disposed in water or waste
Properties
Optimum Tensile Strength
Flexibility for using in multiple forms of packaging
Excellent Moisture/Heat Sealing
Eco-friendly
Applications
Industries like Agrochemical,
Health & Hygiene,
Dyes
Cément,
Enzymes etc.
Advantages of Water Soluble Film
Eco Friendly
Dissolves without leaving any harmful residue and
Avoid the use of regular plastic bags (non-water-soluble packaging),
which generate large amount of chemical residues.
Safe
Avoids contact with the toxic product / Cross Contamination
Easy to Dose/ Handle
Increase dosage accuracy by simplifying the process and avoid the wastage in packaging
Avoid breakage of liquid pesticide / chemical / detergent bottles packaging, effectively
reduce the transport costs of bottle weight and efficiently solve the risks of leakage and
the problems of recycling and environmental pollution.
Convenient
Doses has less storage space and easy to handle
Usages
Used in varied Industries in multiple application as packaging

Water soluble film : Key criteria
Stability during shelf-life of the product packed in it.
Complete dissolution when subjected to its use in a given application
Polymer- surfactant synergy to achieve improved performance of detergents
For all the above desired criteria of performance of the water soluble films, specially designed
surfactant molecules would be required.
Film manufacturers will have to work in close co-ordination with surfactant manufacturers
Water soluble film : Ingredients
Components Description
Polymer PVA/PVOH
Plasticizers PEG, DEG, TEG, Glycerin Ethoxylate; TMP Ethoxylates, Phosphate ester etc
Antifoam Alkyl Phenol Ethoxylate; Fatty alcohol Ethoxylate; EO-PO Block co-Polymer.
Biocides Quaternary ammonium salts; Benzalkonium compounds; Dialkyl dimethyl
ammonium chloride etc.
Surfactant Carboxylate; Oley Cetyl sulphate; Phosphate ester; Lauryl alcohol
ethoxylate; Alkyl Phenol ethoxyaltes; EO-PO Block co polymer; Oleyl cetyl
Ethoxylate; fatty acid ester ; Amides;
Fillers/Extenders Starch; silica; metal oxides; calcium carbonate; talc, mica
Process aid :Plasticizers
WSF need to have such high strength or toughness so that they can used in hot, humid regions or cold
region.
In particular, impact resistance at low temperature is required of WSF.
Need to be used plasticizers for the purpose of decreasing the glass –transition point of film.
Thus, improving the impact resistance of the film at low temperature.
Addition of plasticizers in WSF not only above purpose but also increasing the water solubility.
Types of Plasticizers :
Di & Tri ethylene Glycols; Poly ethers as Polyethylene Glycol ( preferably PEG 400); Glycerin ethoxylate.
Pentaerythritol Ethoxylate; TMP Ethoxylate; polyoxyalkylene ether phospate amine salt.
Dosage : It can be use 10 to 30%
IGL have green and bio Polyethylene Glycols and other Ethoxylates.
Process aid : Surfactants
Surfactant provide smooth processabilty of WSF,
Ease of separation of the formed film from the metal surface of drum.
Act as Anti-blocking agent
Type of Surfactants:
Anionic and Non-ionic can be used.
Anionic surfactants: Carboxylate; Oley Cetyl sulphate; Phosphate ester
Nonionic Surfactants: Lauryl alcohol ethoxylate; Alkyl Phenol ethoxyaltes; EO-PO Block co polymer; Oleyl
Cetyl Ethoxylate; fatty acid ester ; Amides;
Dosages: Surfactants can be used alone or in combination preferably 0.2 to 2% of based mass of PVA.( More
than 2 %, surfactant leaches out of the surface of the film and acts to cause blocking which lead to
deterioration in handling properties of the film.
IGL have complete range of Anionic and Non-ionic surfactants based on green chemistry
Process aid
Anti-Foaming agents: To prevent foaming with possible occlussion of air bubbles in the cast film.
Anti-foaming agent to be added in solution before raising the temperature and agitation.
It will not effect the water solubility of the film .
Types of Anti-Foaming agents:
Alkyl Phenol Ethoxylate; Fatty alcohol Ethoxylate; EO-PO Block co-Polymer.
Dosages: Preferably 0.1 to 0.5% by wt. based on PVA solids.
Biocides :
Biocide should be non toxic to humans especially for those applications of the water soluble film such
as detergents, cleaning agents, or for foodstuffs
Types of Biocides:
Quaternary ammonium salts; Benzalkonium compounds; Dialkyl dimethyl ammonium chloride etc.
IGL have unique range of antifoaming agents.
