A grade-specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) — with the complete hazard classification, handling precautions, and transport information — is supplied with every shipment and available on request. Confirm all safety and regulatory details against the SDS for your specific grade.
Request SDS →This material is a complex of hydrogen peroxide with polyvinylpyrrolidone/povidone (CAS 9003-39-8, the PVP component), forming a stabilized solid that releases hydrogen peroxide on demand. It is used as a controlled source of hydrogen peroxide for oxidation and bleaching applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the PVP-H2O2 complex?
It is a complex of hydrogen peroxide with polyvinylpyrrolidone/povidone (CAS 9003-39-8 for the PVP component), forming a stabilized solid that releases hydrogen peroxide on demand. It is used as a controlled active-oxygen source for oxidation and bleaching applications.
Is polyvinylpyrrolidone the same as povidone?
Yes. Povidone is the pharmacopeial/common name for polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP); they refer to the same polymer, which serves as the stabilizing carrier in this peroxide complex.
What is the PVP-H2O2 complex used for?
It provides a controlled, povidone-stabilized source of hydrogen peroxide for oxidation and oxidative bleaching, and a solid-state delivery form for dry formulations. The polymer carrier meters peroxide release and improves handling versus liquid peroxide.
How does this complex differ from liquid hydrogen peroxide?
Instead of an aqueous solution, the active oxygen is bound in a dry, PVP-stabilized solid that releases peroxide on demand. This allows incorporation into anhydrous and powder formulations and changes the handling and shipping profile versus liquid peroxide.
What bulk packaging and active content does RawSource supply?
This material is supplied as a stabilized solid with a defined available-peroxide content that varies by grade. Specify your required active level and volume for a quote; an SDS and CoA accompany the order, and transport classification is governed by the SDS.
