LCS Laboratory Inc. is pleased to introduce a new analytical service for the detection and quantification of Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVAl) in process water. This advanced testing method was developed to support the coating industry in monitoring PVAl levels, helping manufacturers maintain consistent production quality while meeting environmental and regulatory requirements.
Polyvinyl Alcohol is widely used in coating formulations, but even small variations in concentration can affect process performance, product consistency, and wastewater discharge compliance. Accurate measurement is essential—not only for process control, but also for demonstrating due diligence in environmental management. Our PVAl testing service provides reliable, laboratory-grade data you can trust for decision-making.
Who This Service Is For
Our PVAl analysis is designed for industrial hygienists, environmental consultants, and professionals working in the coating and manufacturing sectors. The service is suitable for both process water and wastewater samples, allowing clients to monitor PVAl throughout different stages of production and discharge. By tracking PVAl concentrations, facilities can optimize operations and support compliance with environmental safety standards.
How the Analysis Works
LCS Laboratory uses a carefully validated analytical approach to ensure accurate and repeatable results:
-
Selective extraction is used to isolate PVAl from the water matrix, minimizing interference from other compounds.
-
Gravimetric analysis is then applied to quantify the extracted PVAl, providing dependable and reproducible measurements.
-
The method detection limit (MDL) is 1,000 μg/mL (ppm), offering sensitivity well suited for industrial monitoring needs.
-
Sample requirements are simple: a minimum of 10 mL of water submitted in a polyethylene (PE) or glass container to preserve sample integrity.
