POLYVINYL ALCOHOL MOWIFLEX™

MOWIFLEX™ is a water soluble, non-toxic thermoplastic material based on polyvinyl alcohol. It can be processed using conventional plastic processing technology, such as extrusion or injection molding. The applications of MOWIFLEX™ include the manufacturing of a broad range of water soluble objects, such as packaging, 3D printing filaments or degradable oilfield tools (frac balls and plugs). In the field of 3D printing MOWIFLEX™ is especially good for generating unprecedented geometries for water soluble support structures.

MOWIFLEX™ can also be used in combination with other plastics in order to improve their properties. For example the addition of MOWIFLEX™ to polyamides allows for enhanced permeability in smokable sausage casings.

MOWIFLEX™ grades are available with various dissolution characteristics and melt viscosities to fit the requirements of your application.

The MOWIFLEX™ grade names reflect dissolution characteristics as well as melt flow index.
