Category
Binder; Solubilizer; Suspending Agents; Stabilizer; Viscosifier; Coating material
Molecular Formula
(C6H9NO)n
Grade
Pharmceutical Excipients
Description
Povidone darkens to some extent on heating at 150℃, with a reduction in aqueous solubility. It is stable to a short cycle of heat exposure around 110-136℃; steam sterilization of an aqueous solution does not alter its properties. Aqueous solutions are susceptible to mold growth and consequently require the addition of suitable preservatives.Povidone may be stored under ordinary conditions without undergoing decomposition or degradation. However, since the powder is hygroscopic, it should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
