The Chemical Properties and Applications of Copovidone VA64
Copovidone, a synthetic random copolymer of 1-vinylpyrrolidone and vinyl acetate, stands as a testament to innovative polymer chemistry. With its unique molecular structure and resulting properties, it has carved out significant niches in both the pharmaceutical and industrial sectors. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we pride ourselves on supplying high-quality Copovidone VA64 (CAS 25086-89-9) that meets the demanding requirements of global manufacturers.
Chemically, Copovidone offers a balance between the water solubility and adhesion of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and the more hydrophobic nature conferred by vinyl acetate. This copolymerization results in a polymer that retains excellent water solubility while exhibiting reduced hygroscopicity and a broader range of solubility in organic solvents compared to pure PVP. This balance is crucial for its performance as a pharmaceutical excipient, allowing it to act effectively as a binder in tablet manufacturing, enhancing adhesion and mechanical strength without excessive moisture uptake.
The application spectrum of Copovidone VA64 is broad. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is widely used not only as a binder for direct compression and wet granulation but also as a film-forming agent for tablet coatings. These coatings provide an elegant finish, protect the tablet core from environmental factors, and can be modified for controlled drug release. Researchers seeking to purchase Copovidone for advanced drug delivery systems will find its matrix-forming capabilities particularly valuable.
Beyond pharmaceuticals, Copovidone finds utility in various industrial applications. Its adhesive properties make it suitable for remoistenable adhesives, while its film-forming capabilities can be utilized in certain coating formulations. It also acts as a viscosity-enhancing agent and a protecting colloid in printing inks, demonstrating its versatility across different chemical sectors. Manufacturers looking for a reliable supplier of this multi-functional polymer can count on NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. for consistent quality and supply.
The K-value, a measure of the polymer's molecular weight and viscosity, is a critical parameter for Copovidone. Our VA64 grade is carefully controlled to ensure optimal performance in its intended applications. We invite R&D professionals and procurement managers to inquire about our competitive price for Copovidone and to explore how its well-defined chemical properties can enhance their product development efforts. Choosing NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. as your manufacturer ensures you receive a product that is both high-performing and reliably sourced.
