Povidone (PVPK)
Povidone is a water-soluble, synthetic polymer made from the monomer N-vinylpyrrolidone. It appears as a white to slightly off-white, odorless powder. Povidone is classified into different grades using a K-value, which reflects the polymer's average molecular weight and influences its properties.
