Aquazol® High Purity

PCI’s High Performance/High Purity Water-Soluble Polymer

 

Aquazol High Purity is synthesized under stringent reaction conditions using 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline monomer with ≥99.9% purity by a single batch reaction process with no blending of batches. The resulting well-defined product provides the researcher more control over experimental design. The molecular weight and polydispersity are determined by correlation to GPC-LS, GPC with RI detection and kinematic viscosity data.

High purity Aquazol is an excellent choice for biomedical applications due to its inherent biocompatibility, well-defined molecular weight and narrow polydispersity. .
