What is the solubility of PVA (poly vinyl alcohol) in water?

Down to solubility section - it's quite temperature dependent

[doomey!]

It depneds on many factors.

Thickness of the PVA, the water temprature, and current (asuming you are using it for fishing which is the popular format)

Uusaly the most dense pva product will last a few minutes.

PVA actually stands for polyvinyl acetate.

[Hamish]

Nope, PVA stands for poly vinyl alcohol, PVAc is poly vinyl acetate. Solubility depends on molecular weight of the polymer and, temperature of water (assuming it is pure). These are the only factors.

As to rate of dissolution, this is subject to a different range of factors.
