Polyvinylpyrrolidone (Pvp) In Industrial And Pharmaceutical IndustriesPolyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) cas:9003-39-8 is a non-ionic polymer compound and one of the most distinctive and widely studied fine chemicals in the N-vinyl amide family. It has now developed into three main categories: non-ionic, cationic, and anionic, as well as two specifications: industrial grade and pharmaceutical grade. PVP includes a range of products, from homopolymers, copolymers, to cross-linked polymers, with molecular weights varying from several thousand to over one million. Its excellent and unique properties have led to extensive applications. PVP is classified into four levels based on its average molecular weight, commonly represented by K-value. Different K-values correspond to specific ranges of average molecular weight for PVP. The K-value is actually a characteristic value related to the relative viscosity of PVP aqueous solutions, which is a physical quantity associated with the molecular weight of the polymer. Therefore, the K-value can be used to characterize the average molecular weight of PVP. Generally, a higher K-value indicates greater viscosity and stronger adhesive properties. Applications ?As a synthetic water-soluble polymer compound, PVP exhibits the general properties of water-soluble polymers, including colloidal protective effects, film-forming ability, adhesion, moisture absorption, and solubilizing or agglomerating effects. Its most notable characteristic, and the reason it receives significant attention, is its excellent solubility and biocompatibility. It is uncommon among synthetic polymers to find one that is soluble in water and most organic solvents, has low toxicity, and good physiological compatibility, especially in fields closely related to human health, such as medicine and cosmetics. With the decreasing cost of its raw material, butyrolactone, PVP is expected to show a promising development outlook. Below are specific applications in various fields: 1.Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare ?PVP has excellent physiological inertness, does not participate in human metabolism, and exhibits good biocompatibility without causing irritation to the skin, mucous membranes, or eyes. From a biological perspective, the molecular structure of PVP is similar to that of simple protein models. Its water solubility allows it to interact with certain small molecules and be precipitated by protein precipitants like ammonium sulfate, trichloroacetic acid, tannic acid, and phenolic compounds, making it widely used as an excipient in pharmaceutical formulations. Specific applications include: ? As a binder in formulations ? Co-precipitating agent ? Solubilizer or crystallization inhibitor in injections ? Coating or film-forming agent ? Sustained release agent for controlled release of drugs, extending their duration of action ? Artificial vitreous body and cornea ? Surgical bandages. Additionally, PVP can be used as a coloring agent and X-ray contrast agent; it is applicable in various dosage forms such as tablets, granules, and aqueous solutions, providing detoxification, hemostatic effects, increased solubility, prevention of peritoneal adhesions, and promotion of sedimentation. 2.Cosmetics ?In the consumption structure of PVP, the cosmetics industry in developed countries accounts for 30% to 50%, while in China, it accounts for 70% to 80%. Due to PVP’s extremely low toxicity and physiological inertness, it is non-irritating to the skin and eyes and has a long history of use in the pharmaceutical field, making it very safe for use in cosmetics. In everyday cosmetics, PVP and its copolymers demonstrate good dispersibility and film-forming properties. PVP acts to protect colloids in emulsions and can be used in fatty and non-fatty creams as a setting agent for styling liquids, hairsprays, and mousses, as well as a light-blocking agent in hair care products, a foam stabilizer in shampoos, and as a dispersant and affinity agent in hair dyes. Adding PVP to creams, sunscreens, and depilatories can enhance moisture and lubrication. 3.Detergents ?PVP exhibits anti-redeposition properties, making it suitable for formulating transparent liquids or heavy-duty detergents. Adding PVP to detergents provides excellent color protection and enhances cleaning power while preventing synthetic detergents from irritating the skin, especially with synthetic fibers. This performance is more pronounced than that of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-based detergents. PVP can be compounded with borax as an effective ingredient in phenolic disinfectant cleaners. In solid formulations with hydrogen peroxide, PVP also contributes to bleaching and killing bacteria. 4.Textile Dyeing ?PVP has good affinity for many organic dyes and can combine with hydrophobic synthetic fibers like polyacrylonitrile, esters, and nylon, enhancing dye uptake and hydrophilicity. 5.Coatings and Pigments ?PVP-coated paints and coatings form transparent films without affecting the original color, improving the gloss and dispersibility of coatings and pigments, enhancing thermal stability, and improving the dispersibility of inks and dyes. 6.Polymer Processes ?As a polymer surfactant, PVP can act as a dispersant, emulsifier, thickener, leveling agent, particle size regulator, anti-redeposition agent, coagulating agent, solubilizing agent, and detergent in various dispersion systems. 7.Others ?PVP can serve as a gelling agent in tertiary oil recovery, increasing oil extraction rates. As an additive in photosensitive materials, it helps reduce latex viscosity and enhance the coverage ability of developed images. It is used as a thickener, dispersant stabilizer, and bonding agent in polymerization processes. In the paper industry, it acts as a dispersant and as a co-catalyst in acrylamide gasification reactions. PVP is also gaining traction in applications related to separation membranes, photopolymer resins, laser disks, drag-reducing coatings, construction materials, steelmaking, and electroplating.
