  • Applications

    N-Vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (CAS 88-12-0) is primarily used as a monomer to synthesize polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and related copolymers, providing water-soluble polymers for a range of applications. Typical use areas include: coatings and inks based on PVP; water-soluble polymers used as thickeners, film-formers, and binders in cosmetics and personal care; pharmaceutical excipients and binders, including binders for tablets and controlled-release matrices; components of waterborne adhesives and coatings; and hydrogels for biomedical applications such as sensors or wound-dressing materials derived from PNVP or copolymers.
