POLYOX™ WSR 205 NF is a low molecular weight, water soluble, pharmaceutical grade poly(ethylene oxide) polymer. It is often used as a binder and thickener.
POLYOX™ WSR 205 NF is a national formulary grade of polyethylene oxide. It is water soluble and provides precise control of rheology in water-based formulations. POLYOX™ WSR 205 NF can also be used in tablet formulations and ceramic applications as a binder to improve green strength. This grade is very high purity and is approved for use in regulated applications.
