In daily chemical product formulations, “all-round” auxiliaries are essential. They not only improve product performance but also optimize user experience. Notably, Povidone K30 (POVIDONE K 30, referred to as PVP K30) stands out among them. As a core daily chemical grade auxiliary, it boasts excellent solubility, film-forming property and compatibility.
Thus, it balances functionality and mildness, adapting to various formula needs.
It is also widely used in various daily chemical products.
Povidone K30 Basic Chemical Information
Chemical Name: Povidone K30/Polyvinylpyrrolidone, English abbreviation PVP K30.
Povidone K30 appears as white to milky white powder. It is odorless or has a slightly characteristic odor, and it is tasteless. Additionally, PVP K30 has strong hygroscopicity. It dissolves easily in water, ethanol and isopropanol, yet it is insoluble in acetone and ether. Povidone K30 boasts stable physical and chemical properties. Specifically, it is relatively stable to acids, salts and heat. Its pH range is 3.0-7.0, and its purity reaches ≥98%.
Thus, PVP K30 meets the standard of daily chemical grade raw materials. It’s core characteristics are rich and practical. For instance, it has excellent film-forming property, which can form a uniform, breathable film on skin and hair. This film plays a protective and moisturizing role for both skin and hair. Furthermore, it has excellent compatibility. Also, it can be compounded with various organic and inorganic compounds, and it does not react with common surfactants or preservatives. Besides, Povidone K30 has stable and protective effects. It can wrap biological macromolecules effectively and inhibit particle aggregation. Moreover, it acts as a solubilizer and dispersant, which helps improve product stability and uniformity.
Storage Conditions
It should be stored in a cool and dry place (15-25℃ is the best) in a dark and sealed manner to avoid moisture absorption and caking or microbial contamination. It may turn slightly yellow during long-term storage, which does not affect the product function.
Povidone K30 Main Application Scenarios
The versatility of Povidone K30 makes it suitable for various daily chemical products. Its core function is to improve the stability, film-forming property and user experience of products, and it is widely used in personal care, beauty, cleaning and other fields, making it an indispensable auxiliary in daily chemical formulations.
Personal Care Products:
When added to shampoos and conditioners, it can improve the smoothness and luster of hair, reduce static electricity, improve combability, and at the same time stabilize the formula system and prevent product stratification; when added to body washes and body lotions, it can enhance the moisturizing property of products, form a protective film on the skin surface, reduce water loss, and relieve dryness.
Beauty Products:
In products such as liquid foundation, concealer and lipstick, it can be used as a film-forming agent to improve the adhesion of products, make the makeup more long-lasting and compliant. Also, at the same time improve the texture of products, making application smoother; when added to facial masks, it can enhance the stability of essence, promote the uniform distribution of nutrients, and improve the skin care effect.
Cleaning and Other Daily Chemical Products:
When added to hand washes and facial cleansers, it can improve the foam stability of products, and at the same time be mild and non-irritating, reducing damage to the skin; in oral care products (such as mouthwash and toothpaste), it can be used as a solubilizer to improve the solubility of active ingredients. And at the same time play a role in gently protecting the oral mucosa. In addition, it can also be used in hair dyes and perm agents to stabilize the formula and reduce the damage of chemical components to hair.
When the concentration exceeds 1%, it will significantly increase system viscosity. Therefore, the dosage should be optimized according to product needs. Also, avoid compatibility with strong oxidants and multivalent cations. This prevents reactions that affect product performance. We provide direct supply from the source with controllable quality. Besides, we support small-batch orders and customized specifications.
