Pharmaceutical Grade
Application and Usage: Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) is one of the key excipients currently advocated internationally. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is primarily used as a binder, film-coating agent, thickener, and solubilizer for poorly soluble drugs in tablets and capsules. Additionally, it serves as a pore-forming agent in membrane industries.
Appearance and Characteristics: A white to creamy white, free-flowing powder, odorless or with a slight characteristic odor.
Main Properties: Non-toxic and non-irritating, with hygroscopic properties. It is readily soluble in water, alcohol, amines, and various other organic solvents. It exhibits excellent solubility, film-forming ability, chemical stability, physiological inertness, adhesiveness, and complexing capacity.
Product Standards: Compliant with USP/NF, EP, JP, and BP standards.
Cosmetic Grade
Properties: Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) is highly water-soluble, maintaining clarity and transparency even at high concentrations. Its aqueous solutions are non-ionic, eliminating the need for neutralization. PVP serves as a stabilizer for emulsions, dispersions, and suspensions, and is compatible with a wide range of inorganic salts, resins, and cosmetic ingredients. The aqueous solution of PVP exhibits high hygroscopicity upon film formation.
Applications and Uses of Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone (PVP):
- As a film-forming and thickening agent in hair styling products, such as hair gel, hair mousse, and aerosol hair sprays.
- PVP acts as an emulsifying and stabilizing agent in creams, lotions, and emulsions.
- Utilized as a dispersant for hair dyes.
- Functions as a foam stabilizer.
- Serves as a cleaning and gelling agent in toothpaste.
- Used as a thickening agent in oral and topical formulations.
Industrial Grade
Properties of Industrial Grade PVP:
- Industrial Grade PVP is available in both powder and aqueous solution forms.
- It is readily soluble in water, alcohol, and other organic solvents.
- Highly hygroscopic, it possesses excellent moldability, viscosity, and chemical stability.
- It is non-toxic, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
Application Fields of Industrial Grade PVP:
