Povidone K90 (PVP K90)

High molecular weight PVP binder, thickener & mucoadhesive polymer

Povidone K90 (PVP K90) is a high molecular weight water-soluble binder, thickener, and mucoadhesive polymer for high-strength tablets, gels, & creams.

infoProduct Description

Povidone K90 (Polyvinylpyrrolidone K90, PVP K90) is a high-molecular-weight, water-soluble synthetic polymer. Its high molecular weight provides greater viscosity than K30, making it particularly useful in formulations requiring high binding strength, strong adhesion, and durable film formation.
