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 lubricant in tablet formulations, ensuring controlled drug release. It is also utilized in ophthalmic solutions and wound dressings for its biocompatibility and moisture-retention capabilities. In the cosmetics and personal care industry, it acts as a stabilizer and viscosity modifier in creams, lotions, gels, skin, and hair products. In the food industry, it is used as a thickening agent and humectant. In the textile industry, it is employed in fiber production processes to improve fiber quality and as a sizing agent. In the paper industry, it enhances the strength, durability, and retention properties of paper. Additionally, it is employed in water treatment processes as a flocculant to aggregate and remove suspended particles. In manufacturing, it is used as a surfactant and dispersant in coatings, adhesives, and ceramics. Its ability to form hydrogels makes it valuable in biomedical applications, such as tissue engineering and drug delivery systems.
