Product Overview
Polyethylene Oxide MW 100,000 (CAS 25322-68-3) is tailor-made low-to-medium molecular weight water-soluble PEO developed for water-based coating and ink industries. Different from ultra-high molecular weight PEO which causes excessive viscosity, this grade maintains proper solution viscosity while providing excellent dispersion stabilization. Through steric hindrance effect, it effectively solves pigment settling, floating and color separation problems. It has broad compatibility with acrylic emulsion, polyurethane dispersion and other common aqueous resin systems, and brings balanced rheology and leveling properties to finished coatings and inks.
Key Features
- Molecular Weight: 100,000, CAS 25322-68-3, white free-flowing powder
- Excellent water solubility, easy to prepare homogeneous aqueous solution
- Powerful dispersion & anti-sedimentation performance for inorganic/organic pigments
- Improve grinding efficiency and restrain pigment re-agglomeration
- Optimize leveling, flow property of waterborne coating and ink film
- Nonionic structure, good compatibility with most aqueous resin and additives
- Low impurity content, will not induce abnormal foaming in normal dosage
Main Applications
- Pigment dispersant and stabilizer for waterborne industrial coatings, architectural latex paint
- Functional additive for flexographic ink, water-based printing ink and colorant slurry
- Suspension auxiliary for mineral filler aqueous slurry
- Rheology modifier and leveling agent for water-based varnish and top coating
Usage Guidance
Slowly add PEO powder into continuously stirred deionized water to avoid agglomeration, keep stirring until fully dissolved. Add the PEO solution at pigment grinding stage. Typical dosage: 0.1% ~0.8% based on total formula weight. Adjust addition amount according to pigment type and storage stability requirement. Complete compatibility test and stability aging test before mass production.
