Monomers and Polymers
Aquazol®
A High Performance Water-Soluble Polymer
Aquazol, poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) – also known as PEOX or PEtOx, is a unique and innovative water-soluble polymer which is non-toxic, non-hazardous, and biocompatible. Among other novel characteristics, this polymer is temperature responsive and inversely soluble above its LCST, ~66°C.
ETOX
Monomer and Organic Intermediate
ETOX (2-ethyl-2-oxazoline), commercially produced exclusively by Polymer Chemistry Innovations, is a heterocyclic organic building block that can be used as a ligand, protective group, asymmetric catalyst, or powerful solvent.
PEHMA
Robust Hydrophobic Polymer
PEHMA is an organic, hydrophobic and non-fouling polymer. It’s synonyms are 2-propionic acid, 2-methyl, 2-ethylhexyl ester, homopolymer; poly(hexyl ethylmethacrylate); polyhexyl ethyl methacrylate. PEHMA is part of the poly(alkyl methacrylate) family and known for: Adhesion, Chemical resistance, Flexibility, Hydrophobicity, Weatherability.
