Water-soluble packaging is experiencing strong growth across many industrial sectors. From detergents to chemical and technical applications, the need for solutions that combine performance with reduced environmental impact is rapidly increasing.
In this context, Soltec Development has developed PVA/PVA film, a technical solution designed to improve the safety, compatibility, and overall performance of water-soluble packaging.
A Dual-Layer Structure for Enhanced Performance
PVA/PVA film is based on a structure composed of two PVA films assembled using a technical adhesive.
This design goes beyond the capabilities of standard PVA films by combining different types of materials and surface finishes, such as embossed and smooth layers. The result is a more robust and adaptable film, specifically engineered to meet industrial constraints and application requirements.

Functional Additives Integrated into the Structure
One of the key strengths of PVA/PVA film lies in its ability to combine multiple functionalities within a single structure.
It allows the integration of a high-performance technical film—providing strength, compatibility, and barrier efficiency—with another film offering complementary properties. PVA films already deliver excellent barrier performance against oxygen, gases, aromas, and UV. The PVA/PVA structure enhances these properties even further while allowing precise adaptation to the intended application.
A Water-Soluble and Biodegradable Solution
Like standard PVA films, PVA/PVA film remains fully water-soluble and biodegradable under appropriate conditions. It dissolves without leaving harmful residues, making it a more sustainable alternative to conventional plastics.
This allows manufacturers to maintain high technical performance while benefiting from the environmental advantages of water-soluble materials.
Applications of PVA/PVA Film
PVA/PVA film is particularly suitable for applications that require strong barrier performance, mechanical resistance, and compatibility with liquid products.
Food Packaging
In the food sector, PVA/PVA film provides an effective oxygen barrier, helping preserve product quality and extend shelf life. Its transparency enhances product visibility while ensuring adequate protection for sensitive food items.
It can be used as an alternative to certain multilayer food plastics in applications where high barrier performance is essential.
Detergent Pods (Laundry Applications)
PVA/PVA film is widely used for liquid detergent pods, especially in laundry applications.
It provides superior leak protection and improved resistance during the filling process, which helps increase productivity on packaging lines. Its compatibility with specific liquid formulations ensures reliable performance throughout the product lifecycle.
The dual-layer structure enhances safety and consistency while guaranteeing complete dissolution during use.
Improved Industrial Performance
Thanks to its reinforced structure, PVA/PVA film contributes to more efficient and reliable industrial processes. It helps reduce the risk of defects or breakage while improving performance on high-speed packaging lines.
This makes it not only a technical material, but also a strategic solution for optimizing production operations.
A Customizable and Printable Solution
PVA/PVA film can be fully tailored to meet specific requirements. From the selection of film types to the adjustment of mechanical and dissolution properties, every aspect can be customized.
It is also printable, allowing brands to combine technical performance with strong visual identity and product differentiation.
Toward a New Generation of Water-Soluble Packaging
PVA/PVA film represents a new generation of water-soluble packaging solutions. It goes beyond simply replacing plastic by offering a high-performance, adaptable material capable of meeting advanced industrial challenges.
Strength, safety, product compatibility, and customization: PVA/PVA film enables the development of more efficient and sustainable packaging solutions.
