Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone (PVP K-30)

Poly Vinyl Pyrrolidone (PVP) K-30 is a versatile polymer extensively utilized in both the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. This polymer is produced through a multistep synthesis process, culminating in the polymerization of vinylpyrrolidone in an aqueous solution, in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. PVP K-30 is notable for its high solubility in water and various organic solvents. It is particularly valued for its ability to form a hard, transparent, and glossy film. This property makes it compatible with a wide range of inorganic salts and resins.
