A water-dispersible injection moldable composition comprising partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), polyethylene glycol (PEG), a plasticizer, and a hydrophobic polymer component, wherein the melt of the composition The Liquidity Index is 5‑180. The hydrophobic polymer component may be a vinyl or a colorant in polyethylene. The composition is flushable according to the guidance document for evaluating the flushability of nonwoven consumer products (INDA and EDANA, 2006); Test FG 522.2 Class 2 - Shake Box Disintegration Test. The degree of hydrolysis of the PVOH is 87% to 89%. |
