PVA - PARTALL ® Film #10 Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) Half Pint
- Partall Film #10 is a water/alcohol-based polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) release agent that forms a barrier between parts and surfaces that are still curing (green or recently reconditioned surfaces can be reactive)..
- Partall Film #10, the original green parting film, is resistant to solvents and styrene yet is water soluble.
- Protects against hang ups with polyester and vinyl-ester resins.
- also used with epoxy and urethane resins.
- PVA is most commonly applied over release wax although some users find success by adding wax over the PVA film (giving a second part cycle before replacing PVA.).
- Partall Film #10 can also be used as a surface cure agent during gel coat repairs (locks out moisture in the air that inhibits resin cure).
