N-vinyl pyrrolidone CAS 88-12-0
Overview
N-Vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) is a high-quality, specialized organic monomer widely recognized in the chemical industry for its versatility and reactivity. Identified by CAS No. 88-12-0, this colorless to slightly yellowish liquid features a five-membered lactam ring structure, making it a critical intermediate in the production of Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and various copolymers.
Product Description
N-Vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) Monomer | CAS 88-12-0
Product Introduction N-Vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) is a highly reactive heterocyclic vinyl monomer. It is widely known as a versatile reactive diluent in the radiation curing industry (UV/EB) and the primary raw material for synthesizing Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Shandong Yinglang Chemical provides industrial-grade and pharmaceutical-grade NVP with low water content and high color stability, ensuring optimal performance in your formulations.

Key Applications
- UV/EB Curing Systems (Coatings, Inks, Adhesives): NVP is used as a reactive diluent to reduce viscosity while increasing curing speed. It improves the hardness, wear resistance, and gloss of the final film.
- Polymer Production: It is the monomer for Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP K30, K90, etc.), widely used in pharmaceuticals, beer clarification, and cosmetics.
- Oilfield Chemicals: Used in drilling fluids to control fluid loss and improve heat resistance.
- Pharmaceutical & Personal Care: Used as an intermediate for synthesizing excipients and cosmetic additives.
