Description

Polyethylene oxide is a linear polymer with an average molecular weight of 200,000. It has a viscosity of approximately 8,000-10,000 cps and is soluble in water. Polyethylene oxide can be used as an excipient for pharmaceutical products. This material is not toxic or carcinogenic and does not cause hypersensitivity reactions. It is metabolized by the liver and excreted in the bile. The polyethylene oxide molecule contains hydrophilic ethylene oxide (EO) and hydrophobic oxyethylene (OE) groups that are responsible for its solubility in water and its low toxicity. The EO groups are responsible for the high viscosity of polyethylene oxide, while the OE groups contribute to its low toxicity.
