Main applications and functions:
〖Biomedicine〗Copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone and vinyl acetate can be used as dry adhesive for direct compression, adhesive for wet granulation of tablets, capsules and granules, film forming agent for tablet coating, bottom coating and external spray.
〖Daily chemical care〗Copolyvinylpyrrolidone, that is, the copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone and vinyl acetate, can be used as a hair care film forming agent and styling agent, especially in aerosol, spray products, liquid products, mousse and gel gels. Among them, the VP/VA copolymer aqueous solution can be carbomer soluble, and is suitable for the formula without ethanol.
