Selvol™ Polyvinyl Alcohol Mobility Applications

Manufacturers face new challenges in weight reduction, safety and durability as the transportation industry evolves. SEKISUI Specialty Chemicals provides the high-performance materials necessary to meet these demands, offering versatile solutions for modern mobility applications.

Advanced Polymers for Automotive and Mobility Applications

Selvol™ polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) is a critical component in the manufacturing of glass applications, particularly automotive safety glass interlayers. Its consistent quality helps ensure the clarity and impact resistance that windshields and windows require: Passenger safety remains paramount.

Meanwhile, efficiency and comfort are driving the need for lighter, better-insulated vehicles. Advancell™ Expandable Microspheres are the ideal additive for sealing applications, such as weather stripping and underbody coatings. By incorporating these microspheres, you can reduce vehicle weight while improving sound dampening and vibration resistance.

Next-generation vehicle designs often use advanced composites that are difficult to bond. We engineer Selvol Ultiloc copolymers to solve these complex automotive applications. They deliver superior adhesion to low-energy substrates and enhanced crosslinking, forming durable bonds where standard materials fall short.
