PVP is usually expressed in terms of K value which stands for its molecular weight. Usually the larger the K value, the higher the viscosity, the stronger the adhesion. PVP toxicity is very small, not involved in human metabolism, with excellent biocompatibility, skin, mucous membrane, eye, etc. China high quality PVP K30 EP7.0 or PVP K30 USP from TNJ Chemical is very good to be used in cosmetic and pharmaceuticals.
Solubility and mixing
Polyvinylpyrrolidone is a kind of polymer with different molecular weight of vinyl pyrrolidone. The aqueous solution can be miscible with a series of cellulose solutions. Can also be mixed with nonionic, anionic or cationic components such as salicylic acid.
PVPK series of products can be added by a large number of salts to the settlement, of which K90 is easier to settle than K17.
The solubility of PVP in different organic solvents is very different. The following table contains a series of organic solvents.
PVPK series dissolved in these solvents can be obtained containing at least 10%PVP solution.
Storage stability
When the pH value is higher than 6, the viscosity of the solution will increase at higher temperature. The acid solution (less than 30%) has a tendency to agglomerate in storage and can be prevented by adding a stabilizer. OH or NH2 class stabilizers are not recommended.
Application:
Suspending agent, dispersant, emulsifier
The addition of PVPK to water soluble suspension agent, dispersant and emulsifier can increase the stability. PVP can form a thin layer on the surface of colloidal particles to avoid condensation.
Plastic production
In the production of solid plastic polymers, PVPK was added as a protective colloid and a polymeric stabilizer.
An adhesive
PVPK 90 and K 85 sodium stearate adhesive thickening agent and tackifier. Different PVPK can be mixed to get the right viscosity. In the dispersion of adhesive, PVP K was also used as protective colloid and thickener.
PVP K is also used as a wettable adhesive for sealing stamps and envelopes, since PVP can be dissolved in water.
