🏭 Applications of GOHSENOL™

1. PVC Suspension Polymerization

GOHSENOL™ serves as a protective colloid, ensuring:

• Uniform droplet size
• Improved particle sphericity
• Better control of porosity and bulk density

2. Adhesives & Glues

Used in both water-based adhesives and hot-melt formulations, GOHSENOL™ enhances:

• Bond strength
• Film flexibility
• Resistance to moisture and solvents

3. Textile Sizing & Finishing

Provides thread protection during weaving, increases smoothness, and minimizes fiber breakage.

4. Paper & Packaging Coatings

Improves printability, oil resistance, and surface strength for food packaging, labels, and specialty papers.

5. Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Use

Used in eye drops, tablets (as binder/disintegrant), and facial masks due to its non-toxicity and biocompatibility.
