Polyethylene Oxide PEO Specification

Polyethylene oxide PEO Applications

This versatile product is widely used across many industries due to its multiple functions. Below are some of its key applications:

Inks, Paints, and Coatings: Polyethylene Oxide PEO acts as a thickener and lubricant. It improves ink flow and color brightness, creates a more even finish, and reduces cloudiness or uneven appearance in paints and coatings.

Daily Chemical Industry: Polyethylene Oxide PEO is used as a conditioning agent(synergists), lubricant, antibacterial agents and foam stabilizers. It gives products a smooth and soft feel, improves texture, and helps maintain foam stability in items like shampoos and cleansers.

Mining and Oil Drilling: In oil drilling, it can be treated as thickner and lubricant and helps thicken and lubricate drilling fluids, improving their quality. In mining, it is used for washing ores and floating minerals, and it helps suspended solids in coal wash water settle faster.

Textile Manufacturing: Works as an antistatic agent and binder. It enhances the coating effect of textile adhesives and improves dye absorption and static resistance in fibers.

Adhesives: Serves as a thickener and lubricant. It increases the viscosity of glue products and helps improve bond strength.

Ceramics Production: Used as a lubricant and binder. It helps mix clay evenly, makes shaping easier, and supports higher output and better quality of finished ceramics.

Solid-State Batteries: Can be applied as an electrolyte and binder. When modified through blending or copolymerization, Polyethylene Oxide PEO helps produce high-performance electrolyte membranes, contributing to safer battery operation.

Electronics: Functions as an antistatic agent and lubricant. It provides insulation and helps protect electronic parts from damage caused by static electricity.

FAQ

Q1: Common Problems Polyethylene Oxide PEO Solves

A: This product effectively addresses several frequent industrial challenges:

Prevents Dripping and Sagging in Coatings: PEO helps thicken liquid formulations, allowing them to be applied evenly to vertical surfaces without runs or sags, resulting in a smoother, more uniform finish.

Reduces Mist and Splatter from Water-Based Solutions: PEO modifies the flow of fluids, helping to control spray patterns. This minimizes the creation of fine mist and unwanted splashing, leading to a cleaner work environment and less waste.

Improves the Performance of Adhesive Resins: PEO enhances initial stickiness when wet ("wet tack") for better bonding. Furthermore, it is designed to dissolve again completely in water, which is essential for recycling processes like repulping paper products without leaving sticky residues.

Q2: What is Polyethylene Oxide (PEO) 1105W? Why is 1105W a perfect replacement for DOW POLYOX WSR 1105?

A: Compared to other polyethylene oxide (PEO) water-soluble resins, 1105W has a moderate molecular weight of 600,000 to 900,000 g/mol, resulting in a solution viscosity of 8,800-17,600 cPs in a 5% aqueous solution. These properties make it an excellent thickener for water-based systems. iSuoChem 1105W PEO water-soluble resin provides solutions with excellent wet tack, making it a valuable additive in adhesive formulations. For example, iSuoChem 1105W is well-suited for the manufacture of towels, tissues, and tail tape adhesives used to bond paper to board. Its high water solubility allows for easy redissolution in water during recycling and repulping.

iSuoChem PEO Polyethylene Oxide 1105W solutions exhibit high viscoelasticity, making it an ideal rheology modifier for water-based coatings and paints. When 1105W polymer is added to paints or coatings, it will help improve adhesion and anti-sagging properties.

These chemical properties make 1105W an excellent alternative to DOW, significantly reducing customers' production costs and shortening delivery cycles.
