General description

Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) is a higher molecular weight (Mv 400,000) thermoplastic water soluble polymer that is formed by the polymerization of ethylene oxide.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is an eco-friendly, biodegradable polymer widely used in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Its non-toxic nature and versatility make it a sustainable choice, derived from renewable resources, contributing to greener product formulations. Click here for more information.

Application

PEO can be used in applications such as biomedical, energy and surface functionalization of nanoparticles.
