Povidone (PVP) is a pharmaceutical-grade polymer widely used in the medical industry as a binder in tablets, granules, and hard gelatin capsules. Additionally, it has applications in film formation, solubilization, and stabilization of suspensions and injectable preparations. Main attributes include:
The Pharmaceutical Grade Povidone we offer conforms to the latest USP, EP & JP standards, available for global supply and produced in a high-tech facility.
Coveted in the realm of pharmaceuticals, the Pharmaceutical Grade Povidone (PVP - CAS Number 9003-39-3) stands as an unrivaled polymer, offering a wide range of applications. This versatile polymer contributes substantively to the effectiveness and reliability of various medicinal and health-related formulations.
Chemically denoted as Polyvinylpyrrolidone, Povidone boasts of the molecular formula (C6H9NO)n, accompanied by an average molecular weight of 111.143. Visible as a light or yellowish-white, hygroscopic powder, Povidone is famed for its extensive solubility in water, ethanol, and methanol, unfolding its universal applicability.
Pharmaceutical Grade Povidone abides by stringent quality norms, ensuring safe usage. The solution appears clear, with K-value lying between 27.0-32.4 (K30), and 81.0-97.2 (K90). It carries a regulated water content of not more than 5.0%, securing the stability of the polymer formula, and the pH values varying between 3.0-5.0 (K30), and 4.0-7.0 (K90), enhancing product stability and adaptation with myriad formulations. Controls are also employed for peroxides, nitrogen content, heavy metals, sulfated ash, aldehydes, formic acid, and hydrazine, to ensure safety.
Apart from the medicinal utility, Povidone's potential casts its shadow in the fields of nutrition and aesthetics too. Available in food grade and cosmetic grade variants, catered to in bulk, ensuring the convenience of handling and storage.
