What is Polyvinyl Acetate?
Polyvinyl acetate (PVA) is a synthetic polymer known for its adhesive properties and is commonly used in the production of chewing gum as a gum base. It is a type of plastic that is also utilized in various industrial applications, including adhesives, paints, and coatings. While PVA itself is not derived from corn, certain manufacturing processes may involve corn-based substances, necessitating verification from manufacturers for those on strict corn-free diets.
