Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVOH) is a water-soluble synthetic resin. It is produced by the hydrolysis of poly(vinyl acetate); the theoretical monomer, CH2=CHOH, does not exist. Discovery of PVOH was credited to German scientists W.O. Herrmann and W. Haehnel in 1924, and the polymer was commercially introduced into the United States in 1939.1
