PEG-PVA
Polyethylene Glycol-Polyvinyl Alcohol (PEG-PVA) brand name Kollicoat IR (BASF) is a novel multifunctional excipient[1] used as a pill binder as well as a wet binder. The formulation is composed of 25% PEG and 75% PVA; where the vinyl alcohol moieties are grafted on a polyethylene glycol backbone.[2]
