聚乙烯醇纤维其主要特点是强度高模量高、伸度低、耐磨、抗酸碱、耐候性好，与水泥、石膏等基材有良好的亲和力和结合性，且无毒、无污染、不损伤人体肌肤，对人体无害，是新一代高科技的绿色建材之一。生产维轮纤维的原料聚乙烯醇是一种水溶性高聚合物，性能介于塑料和橡胶之间，用途广泛。我国的聚乙烯醇生产能力和产量均居世界第一，其后依次为日本、英国和朝鲜。
Polyvinyl alcohol fibers are characterized by high strength, high modulus, low elongation, wear resistance, acid and alkali resistance, good weather resistance, good affinity and combination with cement, gypsum and other substrates, non-toxic, non-polluting, non-damaging to human skin, harmless to human body, and one of the new generation of high-tech green building materials. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), the raw material for the production of vinyl wheel fibers, is a kind of water-soluble high polymer with properties between plastics and rubber, and is widely used. China's production capacity and output of polyvinyl alcohol rank first in the world, followed by Japan, Britain and Korea.
