POLYETHYLENE OXIDE Supplier in Malaysia
POLYETHYLENE OXIDE supplier in Malaysia for manufacturing, pulp and paper, water treatment, mining, coatings and pharmaceutical formulation. Polyethylene oxide is a high-molecular-weight water-soluble polymer supplied as white powder or granules and specified mainly by molecular weight and solution viscosity.
Binder and film-forming grades serve powder, ceramic and paper processes, while rheology grades build viscosity in water-based systems. Higher-molecular-weight grades support flocculation and drag-reduction duties, and pharmaceutical grades require formulation-specific particle, residual and documentation controls.
Polyethylene oxide and polyethylene glycol share repeat chemistry but represent different commercial molecular-weight ranges and handling forms. Buyers seeking the high-molecular-weight powder should state the solution-viscosity test basis, concentration and process conditions rather than ordering only by polymer name.
Send the required molecular-weight or viscosity grade, particle form, quantity and delivery location for a quotation. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed for the quoted polyethylene oxide requirement.

POLYETHYLENE OXIDE grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Binder and film-forming polyethylene oxide | fine white to off-white water-soluble powder | — | Ceramic, powder-processing, paper and industrial binder systems where molecular-weight range, solution viscosity, film strength, dissolution and particle handling are specified. | Sealed moisture-protective packing is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Rheology and solution-viscosity polyethylene oxide | free-flowing powder for aqueous solution preparation | — | Water-based formulations, coatings and process fluids that require thickening, lubrication or rheology control at a buyer-defined molecular weight, concentration and solution-viscosity test basis. | Pack format and supporting documents are confirmed for the quoted grade. |
| Flocculation and drag-reduction polyethylene oxide | high-molecular-weight granular or fine powder | — | Water treatment, mineral slurries, paper processing and flow applications where polymer molecular weight, hydration, solution preparation and process performance are matched to the stream. | Suitable sealed powder packing and commercial details are confirmed with the quotation. |
| Pharmaceutical formulation polyethylene oxide | controlled-grade white powder | — | Tablet matrices, binders and other pharmaceutical systems where molecular weight, viscosity, particle properties, residual limits and application documentation meet the formulation specification. | Application-grade packing and documents are confirmed with the quotation. |

POLYETHYLENE OXIDE applications
Safety and handling
Keep polyethylene oxide sealed, cool and dry, protected from moisture, heat and contamination. Control dust during transfer and close part-used packing promptly to protect powder flow and solution performance.
Common questions about POLYETHYLENE OXIDE
Is polyethylene oxide the same as polyethylene glycol?
They share the same ethylene-oxide repeat chemistry, but the commercial names cover different molecular-weight ranges and physical behaviour. This page is for high-molecular-weight powder grades, not the lower-molecular-weight liquid, wax or flake grades sold as polyethylene glycol.
How is a polyethylene oxide grade selected?
Molecular-weight range and solution viscosity are the main starting points, followed by particle size, dissolution behaviour, moisture and application-specific residual limits. Include the test method and concentration.
How should polyethylene oxide powder be prepared in water?
Addition rate, agitation, water quality, concentration and hydration time all affect lumping and final viscosity. State the current preparation method and process conditions so the grade can be assessed for the system.
Which polyethylene oxide grade suits flocculation or drag reduction?
These applications generally begin with a high-molecular-weight grade, but performance depends on the water, solids, flow and dosing arrangement. Provide the stream details and required performance target with the enquiry.
Can polyethylene oxide be used in pharmaceutical tablets?
Application-qualified grades are used in tablet matrices and binder systems. State the dosage form, molecular-weight or viscosity target, particle requirement, residual limits and required documents.
How are polyethylene oxide packing and documents confirmed?
State the grade, preferred pack format and any product documents required. Available packing, documentation and commercial details are confirmed for the quoted material.
What details are needed for a polyethylene oxide price enquiry in Malaysia?
Send the molecular-weight or viscosity grade, test basis, particle form, application, quantity and delivery location. Mention required documents and timing so the quotation can address the complete requirement.
