PEO(Polyethylene Oxide)
Feature
- Water-soluble thermoplastic resin.
- Also soluble in various organic solvent.
- Nonionic.
- When dissolved, the solution shows high viscosity even at low density, making PEO an effective thickener.
- Products with high-molecular weights have dispersing and coagulation properties.
- Thermoplastics, so PEO can be used for extrusion molding, foundry molding, and calendaring molding.
- Cannot be broken down by bacteria.
- Aqueous solution reduces friction resistance.
- Forms associated molecules with chemical compounds with high polarity such as urea, acrylic resin, and phenol resin.
PEO is a high-polymer polyethylene oxide with molecular weights ranging from 150,000 to 10 million, and is created through the polymerization of ethylene oxide.
PEO can be used in a wide range of industrial application.
