$4400.00
N-Vinyl pyrrolidone (NVP) is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild odor, and its chemical formula is C₆H₉NO. It is a versatile monomer used in the production of a wide range of polymers and copolymers. NVP is known for its excellent solubility, biocompatibility, and ability to form stable, water-soluble polymers, making it useful in numerous industries.
Industrial Applications:
Polymer Production:
NVP is primarily used in the production of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), a polymer widely used as a binder, stabilizer, and thickener in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food products.
Pharmaceuticals:
In the pharmaceutical industry, NVP and its polymer form (PVP) are used in drug delivery systems, as a binder in tablet formulations, and as a stabilizer for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and vaccines.
Cosmetics & Personal Care:
NVP is commonly used in cosmetic formulations, such as in hair styling products, skin creams, lotions, and shampoos, for its film-forming, moisturizing, and binding properties.
Agriculture:
It is used in the production of agrochemical formulations, including pesticides and herbicides, where it helps stabilize active ingredients and improve their performance.
Medical & Biotech:
NVP is used in the development of biomedical devices, wound dressings, and other healthcare products due to its biocompatibility and ability to form hydrophilic films.
Adhesives & Coatings:
Used in the formulation of adhesives, coatings, and inks, NVP provides excellent adhesion and film-forming properties.
Storage Recommendations:
Temperature: Store in a cool, dry place, away from heat, direct sunlight, and sources of ignition.
Packaging: Keep in tightly sealed containers, preferably made of corrosion-resistant materials, to avoid contamination and maintain product integrity.
Shelf Life: Stable for up to 2 years when stored under proper conditions.
Safety Note:
N-Vinyl pyrrolidone is considered to have low toxicity but can cause irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory system. Proper personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves, goggles, and adequate ventilation, should be used when handling. Follow all safety guidelines to minimize exposure.
