description Product Description
Poly(ethylene oxide) is widely used in various industries due to its water-soluble and flexible polymer properties. In the pharmaceutical sector, it serves as a binder, lubricant, and film-forming agent in tablet formulations, ensuring controlled drug release. It is also utilized in ophthalmic solutions and wound care products for its biocompatibility and moisture retention capabilities. In the personal care industry, it is found in cosmetics, shampoos, and lotions as a thickening agent and stabilizer. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in industrial applications, such as water treatment, where it acts as a flocculant to remove suspended particles. Its ability to form hydrogels makes it valuable in biomedical applications, including tissue engineering and drug delivery systems. In the manufacturing of adhesives and coatings, it enhances viscosity and improves performance. It is also used in electrophoresis techniques as an effective sieving medium due to its polymer properties. In the paper industry, it acts as a dry strength agent to enhance paper quality and strength. Furthermore, in cleaning products, it improves efficiency in dirt and stain removal.
