POLYOX WSR 205 is often used as a binder and thickener.
POLYOX WSR 205 is a non-ionic, water-soluble poly(ethylene oxide) polymer with a molecular weight of 600,000.
POLYOX WSR 205 can be used a film former, a thickener, or an emollient.
POLYOX WSR 205 can be cast into a water-soluble film.
POLYOX WSR 205 can then be used to make packaging that is completely water-soluble and useful for packing pre-measured doses of hazardous chemicals like pesticides.

POLYOX Water Soluble Resins are a range of low to high molecular weight non-ionic poly (ethylene oxide) polymers that add richness and improved feel to shampoo formulations.
They improve the density and appearance of the foam without affecting its height and detergent properties of the composition.
These polymers also provide excellent glide and reduce foam distribution resistance.
Also polymers POLYOX are recommended in the formulation of shampoos and hair conditioners in order to improve the combability of wet hair due to their “lubrication”, in styling products, bath foams, shower gels.
Polyox WSR-205 is a water-soluble additive designed to increase the density and fullness of lather in shampoos, body washes and liquid soaps.
WHAT ARE POLYOX™ WATER-SOLUBLE RESINS (WSR)?
POLYOX™ Water-Soluble Resins (WSR) are thermoplastic, non-ionic polymers with high molecular weight.
They are obtained through the heterogeneous polymerization of ethylene oxide (CH2CH2O)n, which in turn creates poly(ethylene oxide) or PEO.
POLYOX™ WSR can be supplied in a wide range of molecular weights to meet specific formulation and processing requirements

Uses of POLYOX WSR 205:
polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a binder, solvent, plasticizing agent, and softener widely used for cosmetic cream bases and pharmaceutical ointments.
Pegs are quite humectant up to a molecular weight of 500.
Beyond this weight, their water uptake diminishes.
Polyethylene Glycol is a binder, coating agent, dispersing agent, flavoring adjuvant, and plasticizing agent that is a clear, colorless, viscous, hygroscopic liquid resembling paraffin (white, waxy, or flakes), with a ph of 4.0–7.5 in 1:20 concentration.
POLYOX WSR 205 is soluble in water (mw 1,000) and many organic solvents.

POLYOX polymers can be used as an alternative to HPMC in ER matrix tablets.
PEO formulations investigated in this study with metformin HCl produced tablets with low weight variation; high breaking force and low friability values at compression forces of 15 kN and 20 kN.
To produce a 12-hour release profile for the freely soluble drug metformin HCl, high viscosity grades of PEO should be used at approximately 30% w/w in the formulation.
Similar drug release rates were obtained for WSR-301, WSR-303 and METHOCEL™ K100M CR ER tablets.
In order to guarantee a robust PEO matrix, at least 20% of polymer should be included in the formulation.
POLYOX™ Water-Soluble resins are high molecular weight water soluble polymers.
A long chain poly(ethylene oxide), POLYOX™ is available in a wide range of molecular weights making POLYOX WSR 205 an excellent choice for a formulator trying to tailor a specific end viscosity.
As a result of its wide ranging compatibility, POLYOX WSR 205 is readily used in a variety of applications.
POLYOX WSR 205 imparts lubricity, binding, water retention, thickening and film formulation.
POLYOX™ differentiates itself from other water soluble thickeners by the high wet tack POLYOX WSR 205 imparts, POLYOX WSR 205s ability to be used in thermoplastics, and the silky feel it can create in end products.

AN increase in the concentration of K2CO3 in Polyox WSR 205 causes a decrease in the drag reduction1; this has been successfully correlated with lowered values of the intrinsic viscosity.
Nonionic, water-soluble polypeptides can interact with sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) to form complexes, and above a certain concentration the reduced viscosity of some of these polymers is increased.
The immediate implication is that if such interactions also take place with polyethylene oxides of high molecular weight then changes in the observed drag reduction may occur.
