POLYOX Water-Soluble Resins

POLYOX™ Water-Soluble Resins are nonionic, high molecular weight water-soluble poly (ethylene oxide) polymers. Molecular weights range from 100,000 to about 8,000,000. They exhibit many properties that are typical of other classes of water-soluble polymers – lubricity, binding, water retention, thickening, and film formation.

But POLYOX Water-Soluble Resins can do even more. They're thermoplastic materials that are readily calendared, extruded, injection molded, or cast. Films of POLYOX Resins are flexible, tough, and resistant to most oils and greases. With their very high molecular weight, POLYOX Water-Soluble Resins are viscoelastic, so their aqueous solutions can reduce spattering and misting potential. And POLYOX Water-Soluble Resins can form association compounds with many other substances to achieve a wide variety of additional, useful formulation properties.
