It is from the horse's moth that Gloy is made up of PVA + a plasticiser+a
preservative.

Hi All,

I know, it's an old subject but I would like a bit of information from
someone in the chemistry field. But first, in my search for the elusive and
almost extinct Gloy gum, I came across some interesting information. Two
quotes both from different sources state that the gum (Gloy) does
not contain any PVA.

Does anyone out there now of a date when PVA was discovered/invented? This
is directly relevant to the accuracy of this information.

Can anyone help?

David
