Description

2-Propenamide, Polymer With 1-Ethenyl-2-Pyrrolidinone is a high-performance, water-soluble copolymer of acrylamide and vinylpyrrolidone. This versatile polymer is engineered to provide exceptional thickening, film-forming, and adhesive properties in aqueous systems. It is a critical raw material for formulators in industries such as personal care, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment, where consistent rheology modification and binding performance are required.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as a primary thickener, stabilizer, and film-forming agent in hair gels, styling mousses, creams, lotions, and sunscreens.
• Pharmaceuticals: Serves as a binder and disintegrant in tablet formulations, and as a viscosity-enhancing agent in topical gels and ointments.
• Water Treatment: Acts as a flocculant aid and sludge dewatering agent in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment processes.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Functions as a key component in water-based adhesives, providing strong binding power and improved wet tack.
• Textile & Paper Industries: Employed as a sizing agent, coating binder, and retention aid to improve product strength and quality.
• Paints & Coatings: Utilized as a rheology modifier and thickener in latex paints and other water-borne coating systems to control application properties.
