description Product Description

Polyethylene oxide is widely used in various industries due to its unique properties. In the pharmaceutical sector, it serves as a binder, thickening agent, and film former in tablet formulations and controlled-release drug delivery systems. Its water-soluble nature makes it ideal for creating hydrogels used in wound care and tissue engineering. In the cosmetics industry, it acts as a stabilizer and viscosity modifier in lotions, creams, and shampoos, providing moisturizing and protective film properties. Additionally, it is employed in the manufacturing of adhesives and coatings, where it enhances flexibility and adhesion properties. In environmental applications, polyethylene oxide is used in wastewater treatment as a flocculant to aid in the removal of suspended particles. In the food industry, it functions as a thickener and stabilizer in products such as ice cream and sauces. In the paper and textile industries, it serves as a processing aid to improve fiber properties and processing efficiency. Furthermore, in cement production, it improves flow properties and reduces water usage. Its versatility and biocompatibility make it a valuable material across multiple fields.
