N-Vinylpyrrolidinone is a slightly to moderately yellow heterocyclic, reactive vinyl monomer made from the reaction of acetylene and 2-pyrrolidone. The inherent properties of high polarity, low toxicity, water solubility, chemical stability, and pseudo-cationic activity are imparted to its homopolymers and copolymers. N-Vinyl-2-pyrrolidone may irritate the skin and eyes and contact may result in corneal opacity. Inhalation of vapors may irritate the respiratory tract. The N-Vinylpyrrolidinone monomer is commonly used as a reactive diluent in ultraviolet and electron-beam curable polymers applied as inks, coatings or adhesives. Copolymers of N-Vinylpyrrolidinone are used in the above applications and also for textile finishes and sizes, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and as a vehicle for hair spray.
