FNP 52 (1992). Metals and arsenic specifications revised at the 63rd
JECFA (2004). An ADI 'not specified' was established at the 27th JECFA
(1983)
SYNONYMS Crospovidone, cross linked polyvidone, insoluble PVP,

polyvinylpolypyrrolidone, cross linked homopolymer of 1-ethenyl-2-
pyrrolidone, insoluble cross linked homopolymer of N-vinyl-1-pyrrolidone,
INS No. 1202
DEFINITION A poly-[1-(2-oxo-1-pyrrolidinyl) ethylene], cross-linked in a random fashion

produced by the polymerization of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone in the presence of
either caustic catalyst or N,N'-divinyl-imidazolidone; due to its insolubility in
all common solvents the molecular weight range is not amenable to
analytical determination.
Assay Not less than 11.0% and not more than 12.8% nitrogen calculated on the
anhydrous basis
DESCRIPTION White hygroscopic powder with a faint, non-objectionable odour
FUNCTIONAL USES Colour stabilizer, colloidal stabilizer, clarifying agent
CHARACTERISTICS
IDENTIFICATION
Solubility (Vol. 4) Insoluble in water, ethanol and ether
Absorption of iodine Add 0.1 ml of 0.1 N iodine to a suspension of 1 g of the sample in 10 ml of

water and shake for 30 sec. There should be no blue colouration on
shaking up with 1 ml of starch TS.
PURITY
Water (Vol. 4) Not more than 6% (Karl Fischer Method)
pH (Vol. 4) 5 - 8 (1% w/v aqueous suspension)
Sulfated ash (Vol. 4) Not more than 0.4%

Test 2 g of the sample (Method I)
Water-soluble matter Not more than 1.5%

Transfer about 25 g, accurately weighed, to a 500-ml flat bottom flask, add
225 ml of water and a 5 cm magnetic stirring bar, and place on a
combination heater-stirrer. Attach a water-cooled condenser, and reflux
gently, with stirring, for 20 h. Allow the slurry to cool, transfer to a 250-ml
volumetric flask, with the aid of 25 ml of water, add water to volume, and
mix. Allow the bulk of the solids to settle for about 15 min, decant the liquid
into centrifuge tubes, and centrifuge until clear. Typically, at least 1 h at
12,000 rpm is required. Transfer 50.0 ml of the clear supernatant liquid to a
tared 250 ml beaker, evaporate, and dry to constant weight in a forced air
oven at about 90o. Calculate the percentage of water soluble substances by
the formula 500 W / G, where W is the weight, in g, of the residue and G is
the weight, in g, of the test sample taken.
Free N-vinyl-pyrrolidone Not more than 0.1%

Suspend 4.0 g of the sample with 30 ml of water, stir 15 min., pass through
a sintered glass filter of 9-15 µm (= type G 4) in a 250-ml conical flask.
Wash the residue with 100 ml of water, add 500 mg of sodium acetate to
the combined filtrates, and titrate with 0.1 N iodine until the colour of iodine
no longer fades. Add an additional 3.0 ml of 0.1 N iodine, allow to stand for
10 min, and titrate the excess iodine with 0.1 N sodium thiosulfate, adding
3 ml of starch TS as the end-point is approached. Perform a blank
determination. Not more than 0.72 ml of iodine is consumed, corresponding
to not more than 0.1% vinylpyrrolidone.
Free N,N'-divinyl Not more than 2 mg/kg

imidazolidone See description under TESTS
Zinc (Vol. 4) Not more than 25 mg/kg

Test 2 g of the sample, accurately weighed
Lead (Vol. 4) Not more than 2 mg/kg

Determine using an atomic absorption technique appropriate to the
specified level. The selection of sample size and method of sample
preparation may be based on the principles of the method described in
Volume 4, “Instrumental Methods.”

PURITY TESTS
Free N,N'-divinyl- Principle

imidazolidone Free N,N'-divinylimidazolidone migrating from insoluble PVP into a solvent
(acetone) is determined by capillary column gas chromatography.
Internal standard solution

Dissolve 100 mg of heptanoic acid nitrile (oenanthic acid nitrile) weighed
out to within an accuracy of 0.1 mg in 500 ml of acetone.
Preparation of the sample

Weigh out about 2-2.5 g of the polymer to within an accuracy of 0.2 mg into
a 50 ml Erlenmeyer flask. By means of a pipette, add 5 ml of internal
standard solution. Subsequently, run in about 20 ml of acetone. Shake the
mixture for 4 h or let it equilibrate for at least 15 h and analyze the
supernatant solution by gas chromatography.
Calibration solution
Weigh out about 25 mg of N,N'-Divinylimidazolidone with an accuracy of
0.2 mg into a flask and make up to 100 ml with acetone. By means of a
pipette, transfer 2.0 ml of this solution into another 50 ml calibration flask,
make up to 50 ml with acetone. Transfer 2 ml of this solution to another
flask, add 5 ml of the internal standard solution (see above) and make up to
25 ml with acetone.
Gas chromatography condition

Column: Capillary (fused silica) "DB-Wax" (cross-linked Carbowax 20 ml),
length 30 m, i. d. 0.25 mm, film thickness 0.5 µm.
Column oven temperature: Programmed, 140o - 240o, 4o/min
Injector: Split injector, 220o; split effluent 30 ml
Detector: Thermionic detector (optimized according to manufacturers
instructions), 250o.
Carrier gas: Helium, 1 bar (overpressure)
Amount injected: 1 µl of supernatant solution of sample or calibration
solution.
Procedure
Obtain a reliable determination of the calibration factor for the specific
conditions of analysis by means of repetitive injections of the calibration
solution. Analyze the sample. The content of N,N'-divinylimidazolidone in
insoluble PVP shall be not more than 2 mg/kg.
Calculation of the calibration factor, f
where
WD = amount of N,N'-divinylimidazolidone taken (mg)
WSt = amount of internal standard (mg)
ASt = aArea of peak of internal standard
AD = area of peak for N,N'-divinylimidazolidone
Calculation of the content of N,N'-divinylimidazolidone, CD
where
f = calibration factor
AD = area of peak for N,N'-divinylimidazolidone
WSt = amount of internal standard added to the sample (mg)
ASt = area of peak of internal standard
WS = amount of sample taken (g)
METHOD OF Determine the nitrogen content according to Kjeldahl with a modified

ASSAY digestion. Place about 0.1 g, accurately weighed, in the digestion flask of
the apparatus. Add 1 g of a powdered mixture of 10 parts of potassium
sulfate and 1 part of cupric sulfate, and wash down any adhering material
from the neck of the flask with a fine jet of water. Add 7 ml of sulfuric acid,
rinsed down the wall of the flask, then, while swirling the flask, add 1 ml of
30% hydrogen peroxide cautiously down the side of the flask (Do not add
hydrogen peroxide during the digestion). Repeat the addition of 1 ml of
30% hydrogen peroxide (usually 3 to 6 times) until a clear, light green
solution is obtained on heating the mixture. Heat for an additional 4 h.
Cautiously add to the digestion mixture 20 ml of water and proceed to the
steam distillation as directed under Nitrogen Determination (Kjeldahl
Method) (see Volume 4)
