Product Overview
NF Grade Polyethylene Oxide CAS 25322-68-3 is professional hydrophilic matrix excipient designed for sustained and controlled release oral drugs. Many conventional matrix materials face unstable release rate and batch fluctuation issues. This NF grade PEO features strict molecular weight control and high purity. It forms uniform hydrated gel matrix, provides predictable long-term drug release, simplifies formulation development and improves the consistency of finished sustained-release tablets.

Usage Guidance
Suitable for direct compression or incorporated during wet granulation. The dosage and molecular weight selection depend on target release profile. Preformulation compatibility and dissolution tests are strongly recommended. Avoid intense high-shear mixing to prevent polymer chain degradation. All manufacturing operations should comply with GMP standards.
