The quest for the perfect hair product often leads formulators to versatile ingredients that can deliver on multiple fronts – hold, shine, texture, and longevity. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we proudly offer Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) K-30 and K-90, polymers that have become indispensable in the hair care industry. These grades are celebrated for their exceptional film-forming, adhesive, and viscosity-modifying properties, making them the backbone of many high-performance hair styling formulations. Delving into hair styling formulations with PVP is key to understanding product efficacy.

Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is a water-soluble, non-ionic polymer that forms clear, flexible films. Its inherent properties make it an ideal ingredient for providing hold and definition in a variety of hair styling products. The K-value of PVP dictates its molecular weight and viscosity, influencing the type of hold and texture it imparts. Our commitment to providing high-quality PVP ensures that our clients can consistently achieve their desired product characteristics.

PVP K-30, with its lower molecular weight and viscosity, is often chosen for applications where a lighter, more flexible hold is desired. It’s commonly found in hair sprays and mousses that provide natural movement and volume without stiffness. Its excellent solubility ensures easy incorporation into water-based formulations, and it contributes to a pleasant sensory feel on the hair. For formulators seeking to create products with a natural finish, the use of PVP K-30 is a strategic choice.

Conversely, PVP K-90, with its higher molecular weight and increased viscosity, provides a stronger, more resilient hold. This makes it the polymer of choice for products designed for long-lasting styles and extreme hold, such as styling gels, pomades, and waxes. PVP K-90 creates a more rigid film, offering superior resistance to humidity and environmental factors that can cause styles to fall. Its ability to provide a strong yet non-flaky hold is a significant advantage in the competitive hair styling market. Mastering these hair styling formulations with PVP is essential for product success.

Both PVP K-30 and K-90 contribute to the overall shine and appearance of the hair. They help to disperse hair colorants evenly and can act as conditioning agents, leaving hair feeling smooth and manageable. Their ability to stabilize foams also benefits products like mousses and volumizing shampoos. The synergy of these properties makes PVP a multi-functional ingredient that enhances both the performance and aesthetics of hair care products.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. offers a comprehensive range of PVP grades to meet the diverse needs of the hair care industry. We ensure that our PVP products are manufactured to the highest standards, providing formulators with the reliable ingredients needed to create market-leading hair styling solutions.
