Polyvinylpyrrolidone K30 (PVP K30) is a water-soluble polymer widely used in various applications due to its excellent film-forming, adhesive, and binding properties. As a standard of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), it is recognized for its high purity and suitability for pharmaceutical formulations. PVP K30 is often utilized as a binder in tablet formulations, a stabilizer in emulsions and suspensions, and a solubilizer for poorly soluble drugs. Its versatility extends to personal care products, where it functions as a thickening agent and film former in hair sprays and skin creams.

Industrial Uses

1. Agrochemicals

  • Surfactants & Emulsifiers: It serves as a surfactant in pesticide formulations, improving the spread and adhesion of active ingredients on plant surfaces.
  • Stabilizer: It helps stabilize emulsions and suspensions in agrochemical products, ensuring consistent efficacy.

2. Paints & Coatings

  • Additive: Used as a rheology modifier and thickener in paints and coatings, improving viscosity and application properties.
  • Film Former: Functions as a film-forming agent, providing a protective layer and enhancing adhesion to various substrates.
  • Dispersing Agent: In the preparation of pigment dispersions, PVP K30 acts as a dispersing agent, improving the stability and uniformity of the dispersion. This results in coatings with enhanced color strength and consistency. 

3. Food & Healthcare Ingredients

  • Food Stabilizer: Recognized as a food-grade additive, it acts as a stabilizer and thickener in sauces, dressings, and other food products.
  • Clarifying Agent: Used in the clarification of beverages like fruit juices and wines, aiding in the removal of impurities.

4. Flavours & Fragrances

  • Film Formers & Binders:Acts as a binder in encapsulated flavour and fragrance systems; provides film-forming properties to protect volatile compounds and control their release.
  • Solubilizer: It is used as a solubilizing agent in flavor and fragrance formulations, enhancing the solubility of aromatic compounds.
  • Fixative: Functions as a fixative in fragrances, improving the longevity and stability of scents."
