Introduction

Soluble in water.

Application
Methyl Vinyl Ether/Maleic Acid Copolymer (PVM/MA Copolymer, CAS 25153-40-6) is a water-soluble, anionic alternating polycarboxylic acid derived from methyl vinyl ether and maleic anhydride. As a high‑purity, biocompatible excipient, it acts as a versatile functional polymer in numerous industries. In personal care, it is utilized as a non‑tacky hair fixative in hairsprays, gels, and mousses, as well as a silky texture enhancer in moisturizers and serums. In pharmaceutical formulations, it serves as a mucoadhesive agent for denture adhesives, spray bandages, ostomy applications, and controlled‑release coatings for tablets or transdermal patches. In oral care, it improves the texture and stability of toothpaste and mouthwash. Industrial applications of this anionic maleic copolymer include its function as a chelating agent for water softening (calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron), a detergent builder, a corrosion inhibitor, and a stabilizer in heavy‑duty liquid detergents and automatic dishwashing formulas. It also functions as a thickener, binder, dispersant, emulsifier, flocculant, and anti‑encrustation agent.
