Glycolide, ≥ 99.5%

Glycolide is a high-purity cyclic diester used as a key monomer in the synthesis of polyglycolic acid (PGA) and copolymers such as polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA). It is known for its biodegradability and biocompatibility, making it ideal for medical applications, including resorbable sutures, scaffolds, and controlled drug delivery systems.

Applications:
Biodegradable Polymers: Used in the production of PGA and PLGA for eco-friendly and medical applications.
Medical Implants & Sutures: Contributes to bioresorbable surgical materials.
Drug Delivery Systems: Forms biocompatible carriers for controlled-release pharmaceuticals.
Sustainable Packaging: Utilized in compostable and environmentally friendly materials.
