Anything else? Call +91 99430 32500 or message us on WhatsApp.
What is hot water soluble PVA film?
A transparent PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) film that stays closed in cold water and dissolves completely in water above 65°C. It is used for bags that must hold their contents until they reach a hot wash.
What happens if the film gets wet in cold water?
It softens but does not dissolve. It dissolves when the water is above 65°C, such as in a hot wash cycle.
What is it used for?
Mainly hospital laundry bags, which go into the hot wash unopened, and garment and packaging bags. For packs that should open at room temperature, such as sachets and pods, use our cold water soluble PVA film.
What thickness can you supply?
From 25 micron, made to your requirement. Tell us what the bag will carry and we will confirm the right micron with your quote.
Is the film plain or embossed? Coloured?
The film is transparent and is available plain or embossed. We do not supply coloured or printed film.
Does it leave plastic or microplastics behind?
No. GreenPlast film is made from PVA, industrial starch and vegetable oil derivatives, with no conventional plastics, and breaks down into carbon dioxide, water and biomass. CIPET, a Government of India institute, measured 91% biodegradation in 165 days under ISO 17088.

Keep it in the original packing, indoors, in a dry place and away from water and moisture until use.
