Crospovidone, also known as cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), is a synthetic polymer produced from the polymerization of vinylpyrrolidone monomers. It is a white, odorless, and tasteless powder with excellent water absorption properties. Crospovidone is insoluble in water but swells rapidly, forming a gel-like consistency, which makes it highly valuable in many applications.
