Product Description
Polyethylene oxide (PEO), also known as polyethylene glycol (PEG) depending on its molecular weight.
Water Solubility: PEO is highly soluble in water, which makes it useful in applications where water solubility is essential.
Viscosity: It can form highly viscous solutions at low concentrations, which is beneficial in applications requiring thickening agents.
Biocompatibility: PEO is non-toxic and biocompatible, making it suitable for medical and pharmaceutical uses.
Lubrication: It has good lubricating properties.
Thermal Stability: It is stable over a wide range of temperatures.

Polyethylene oxide plays a significant role in pharmaceutical applications due to its unique properties such as solubility, biocompatibility, and versatility.
Here are some key pharmaceutical applications of PEO:
| Application | Description |
| Controlled Release Formulations | Forms hydrogels and matrices for gradual release of active ingredients. |
| Ointments and Creams | Acts as a moisturizing base for ointments, creams, and lotions, aiding in the delivery of active ingredients through the skin. |
| Tablet and Capsule Formulations | Improves cohesion and ensures consistent delivery of active compounds. |
| Suppositories | Controls melting point and dissolution rate to release active ingredients at appropriate sites. |
