POLYOX™ Water-Soluble Resins for Pharmaceutical Applications
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, including osmotic pump technologies.
Other applications include hydrophilic matrices, gastro-retentive dosage forms, tamper-resistant technologies and other drug delivery systems such as transdermal and muco-adhesive technologies.
POLYOX water-soluble resins provide a number of benefits including:
- Wide range of molecular weights for 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
- Extreme hardness and virtually crush-proof for tamper-resistant technologies
