Povidone (Polyvinylpyrrolidone) is a water-soluble synthetic polymer produced via free-radical polymerization of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone. It serves as a versatile binder, disintegrant, and stabilizer in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Molecular Formula: (C6H9NO)n; CAS No.: 9003-39-8. Grades K-12 to K-120 denote varying molecular weights and viscosities.
Ensure storage in cool, dry environments away from moisture to prevent clumping. Avoid inhalation of dust particles during handling. While generally safe, specific grades may require validation for parenteral use due to potential impurities.
