VP/VA Copolymer
VP/VA Copolymer, also known as Copovidone, is a vital water-soluble polymer extensively utilized in both the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Its unique composition, a copolymer of N-vinylpyrrolidone and vinyl acetate, grants it exceptional film-forming, binding, and adhesive properties. This makes it an indispensable ingredient for enhancing the performance and stability of a wide array of products, from complex pharmaceutical formulations to everyday personal care items.
- As a pharmaceutical grade binder, VP/VA Copolymer ensures excellent tablet cohesion and uniform drug delivery.
- In cosmetic applications, it functions as a film former, providing a smooth feel and moisture barrier for skincare products.
- The polymer offers superior hair fixative and styling capabilities, ensuring long-lasting hold without flaking in hair sprays and gels.
- Its low hygroscopicity, especially with increased vinyl acetate content, makes it suitable for moisture-sensitive applications.
