Polyvinyl acetate (PVA, PVAc, poly(ethenyl ethanoate)), commonly known as wood glue (a term that may also refer to other types of glues), PVA glue, white glue, carpenter's glue, school glue, or Elmer's Glue in the US, is a widely available adhesive used for porous materials like wood, paper, and cloth. An aliphatic rubbery synthetic polymer with the formula (C₄H₆O₂)_n, it belongs to the polyvinyl ester family, with the general formula −[RCOOCHCH₂]−. It is a type of thermoplastic.^[1]
