POLYOX Water-Soluble Resins (NF grades) are non-ionic poly (ethylene oxide) polymers. They are hydrophilic polymers available in a wide range of molecular weights and are supplied as white, free flowing powders. POLYOX offers a history of successful use in extended release applications of osmotic pump technologies, hydrophilic matrices, gastro-retentive dosage forms and other drug delivery systems such as transdermal and muco-adhesive technologies. POLYOX resins also provide a number of benefits.
Features - Wide range of molecular weights offers formulation flexibility
- Versatile application in direct compression and granulation
- Rapid hydration and swelling for use in osmotic pump technologies
- Fast hydration and gel formation for use in hydrophilic matrices
- Meets requirements of the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) and compliance with US Food Chemicals Codex
