How AquaFlex works

Dissolving and biodegrading in fresh and salt water

  1. 01

    It dissolves in water

    When PVOH film meets water, it softens and breaks into a solution.

  2. 02

    Then it biodegrades

    Microorganisms turn the polymer into carbon dioxide, water and biomass.

FAQ

PVA PRO in short

Who is PVA PRO?

PVA PRO (PVA PRO JOINT STOCK COMPANY) is a Vietnamese company that created AquaFlex, a water-soluble PVOH material technology, and since 2022 has turned it into resins, films, bags and paper coatings for international and Vietnamese buyers. It produces in its own factory in Long Hau Extended Industrial Park, Tay Ninh, Vietnam, with full 3C vertical integration: compounding, converting and customizing. PVA PRO is a TURN GREEN company.

What is AquaFlex?

AquaFlex is a PVOH (polyvinyl alcohol, also written PVA) material made in Vietnam by PVA PRO. The film passed ISO 14852 in 32 days in fresh water, ASTM D6691 in 43 days in natural seawater, and ISO 14855-1 in 125 days in industrial composting, where the full report found it compliant with EN 13432.

Who tested AquaFlex?

ARCHA S.r.l., an independent laboratory in Pisa, Italy, tested AquaFlex film under ISO and ASTM standards. These lab test reports are strong references: most competitors on this material technology do not reach these results. Ask us for the reports.

How long can AquaFlex be stored?

Our retained samples have stayed stable for more than five years in normal storage conditions. Standard compostable plastics typically have a shelf life of about 12 months from manufacture.

What is the production capacity?

200 tons per month.

What does 3C vertical integration mean?

Compounding, Converting, Customizing. PVA PRO formulates the AquaFlex resin, blows, prints and converts the film, and customizes sizes, thickness and options in its own factory, from raw material formulation to finished custom film.

Part of TURN GREEN

PVA PRO is a TURN GREEN Holding company, alongside its sister factory GPS PLAS for compostable and recycled plastic solutions
