Why is "KURARAY POVAL FILM" suitable for the packaging of wool yarns and knits?

"KURARAY POVAL FILM" is highly oil-resistant and protects the packaging from the oils contained in natural wool yarns (alpaca, goat, sheep, etc.) Bags made of olefins have low oil-resistance. For this reason, the oil contained in wool yarn can degrade the package and impair its appearance. If "KURARAY POVAL FILM" is used, it will be possible to maintain the visual beauty of the product package.

Are vinyl and VINYLON film the same thing? Why is it that it is environmentally friendly?

"KURARAY POVAL FILM" is a plastic film that uses polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as its raw material. Therefore, it is a completely different material than plastic bags (bags made of film that uses vinyl chloride as its raw materials). Furthermore, toxic substances (SOx) are not generated when it burns. A property of the PVA used as the raw materials is that it is decomposed by some microorganisms. It is therefore a film with extremely low effects on the environment.
