Controlling surface dispersibility in thermoplastic injection molded and flushable materials

An injection-molded article includes a water-dispersible injection-moldable composition including 82 wt. % to 86 wt. % partially-hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), 11 wt. % to 13 wt. % plasticizer, and 3 wt. % to 5 wt. % total colorant and slip additives, wherein the injection-molded article has a...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An injection-molded article includes a water-dispersible injection-moldable composition including 82 wt. % to 86 wt. % partially-hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), 11 wt. % to 13 wt. % plasticizer, and 3 wt. % to 5 wt. % total colorant and slip additives, wherein the injection-molded article has an outer surface, and wherein the composition at the outer surface is surface cross-linked. A method for controlling the dispersibility of an injection-molded article having an outer surface includes formulating a water-dispersible injection-moldable composition including 82 wt. % to 86 wt. % partially-hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), 11 wt. % to 13 wt. % plasticizer, and 3 wt. % to 5 wt. % total colorant and slip additives; injection molding the single resin composition into the injection-molded article; and treating the outer surface to increase the cross-linking of the composition at the outer surface.
