Poly(vinyl methyl ether), 50% aqueous solution

Poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PVME) is a water-soluble, thermosensitive polymer with a low cloud point, exhibiting phase separation in aqueous solutions upon heating. This unique property makes it useful in stimuli-responsive applications. The ether linkages in its structure provide flexibility and solubility, making it a valuable component in adhesives, coatings, and biomedical formulations.
Water-insoluble above 28ºC
50% Aq. Soln.

Applications:

Adhesives & Binders: Enhances tackiness and cohesion in pressure-sensitive adhesives.
Biomedical & Drug Delivery: Used in controlled-release systems due to its thermoresponsive behavior.
Rheology Modifier: Functions as a thickener in personal care and industrial formulations.
