| abstract |
A polyvinyl alcohol film which dissolves in water at 20° C. within 10 minutes and has an α/β ratio of not more than 10 wherein α is a storage modulus of the film at 20° C. in a dry atmosphere and β is a storage modulus of the film at 20° C. and 80% RH, and which has an excellent cold water solubility and an excellent durability such that the change in appearance of the film under high humidity is slight and the lowering of the cold water solubility is slight even if the film is stored for a long term. |
