Overview of Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)
Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is a water-soluble polymer widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial applications. It functions as a binder, stabilizer, film former, and solubilizer. Its excellent chemical stability, biocompatibility, and non-toxic nature make it ideal for tablets, capsules, topical formulations, hair and skin care products, and coating applications.
PVP is often combined with Magnesium Stearate, Lactose Anhydrous, Hydroxypropyl Cellulose, Polyethylene Glycol, and Maize Starch to enhance formulation stability, flow properties, and performance in solid and liquid dosage forms.
