During the study, solutions and film materials have been obtained with a concentration of polyvinyl alcohol in distilled water in the range of 1 ... 15 %. The rheological properties of the resulting solutions have been studied by rotational viscometer HAAKE VT 550 at a temperature of 20° C and 80° C. Film materials have been molded by cast film method. The elastic and strength properties of the film materials samples have been determined with a Gotech 7000M universal testing machine. It has been shown that with an increase in polyvinyl alcohol concentration, there has been a decrease in the elastic and strength properties. Samples of film material with 1% and 5% polyvinyl alcohol content completely dissolve in water in 10 and 20 minutes, respectively.
