A process for making polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) K-90 having a polydispersity of less than 6, preferably less than 5, and most preferably, less than 4, which comprises polymerizing vinylpyrrolidone monomer by free radical solution polymerization, in water, in the presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG) having a molecular weight of about 300 as a chain transfer agent. The product is an aqueous solution of 15-25% PVP K-90, preferably 20%, 15-30% PEG, preferably 25%, and 45-70% water, preferably 55%, by weight of the solution.
