Swapnroop Pharma manufactures and supplies Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA/PVOH), a synthetic, water-soluble polymer used as a functional material and pharmaceutical excipient in various formulation applications.
Polyvinyl Alcohol is produced through the hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate. Its properties are strongly influenced by the degree of hydrolysis and polymerization, which determine characteristics such as water solubility, viscosity, film-forming ability and mechanical performance.
Polyvinyl Alcohol is valued for its film-forming, binding, thickening, stabilizing and adhesive properties, making it suitable for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, ophthalmic, topical and specialty formulation applications.
Polyvinyl Alcohol is available in different grades based on molecular weight, viscosity and degree of hydrolysis. Partially hydrolyzed and fully hydrolyzed grades can exhibit significantly different solubility and functional characteristics.
It is generally supplied as a white or almost white powder, granules or flakes and can form clear or translucent aqueous solutions depending on grade and concentration.
Polyvinyl Alcohol can be used in:
Polyvinyl Alcohol provides:
Swapnroop Pharma supplies Polyvinyl Alcohol in grades selected according to application, viscosity and degree of hydrolysis requirements.
For pharmaceutical applications, the exact grade should be selected according to the applicable pharmacopoeial or customer specification. CoA and SDS documentation can be provided for the supplied grade.
Polyvinyl Alcohol should be stored in tightly closed packaging in a cool, dry and clean environment. Protect the material from moisture, contamination and excessive heat.
Packaging can be arranged according to grade, quantity and customer requirements.
