Overview
PVP K30 is a water-soluble polymer derived from vinylpyrrolidone monomers via radical polymerization. It serves as a critical binder and film former in pharmaceutical formulations. Its chemical identity is defined by the empirical formula (C6H9NO)n with CAS number 25086-89-9.
Application
- Tablet Manufacturing: Functions as an effective binder for direct compression and granulation processes.
- Coating Systems: Provides smooth, uniform films for immediate-release tablets and capsules.
- Injectables: Utilized as a plasma expander and solubilizing agent for poorly soluble drugs.
Precautions
Maintain storage in cool, dry environments below 25°C to prevent moisture absorption. For parenteral use, strictly adhere to pharmacopoeial purity grades to ensure safety against pyrogenic reactions.
