Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone has different solubility in different solvents,that is ,the extensive scope of variation In the table below, the solvents under the column of "Soluble" means that a satured solution of the polymer contains a mass fraction of at least 10%, while "Insoluble" means that the mass fraction of PVP of a satured solution is less than 1%.
Soluble Soluble Soluble Insoluble Insoluble Chloroform Isopropyl Alcohol Normal Propyl Alcohol Cyclohexane Pentane Cyclohexanol Methyl Alcohol Polyethylene Glycol Ethyl Ether Carbon Tetrachloride Absolute Alcohol Methylene Chloride Propylene Glycol Acetone Toluene Glycerin Normal Butyl Alcohol Triethanolmine Liquid Paraffin Dimethylbenzene
2.Molecular Weight
Molecular weight of polymer is generally expressed as weight average(Mw), number average and viscosity average. The most commonly used expression is weight average molecular weight, which is measured by light scattering method. Mw Values of PVP-K series products are shown as following:
PVP-K12
PVP-K17 2,000-------------------3,000
7,000--------------1,1000 PVP-K25 28,000-----------------34,000 PVP-K30 44,000-----------------54,000 PVP-K60 320,000---------------380,000 PVP-K90 1,000,000-----------1,500,000 PVP-K120 1,600,000-----------2,000,000
