Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) should be stored in a manner that takes into account all environmental factors that may affect the material. Polyvinyl Alcohol should be stored in dry area with preferably temperatures between 5 degrees Celsius and 25 degrees Celsius or 41 degrees Fahrenheit to 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, humidity should be controlled because too much moisture may cause clumping and causing degradation. Use airtight containers in order to avoid PVA from moisture and other impurities. Also, do not expose the PVA to sunlight as it may affect the chemical stability of the polyvinyl alcohol. Compliance of these guidelines will ensure that PVA is functional for a number of applications ranging from industrial application to consumer applications.
