IFF’s Industrial Solutions has a long history producing POLYOX™ Water-Soluble Resins (WSR) polymers and supporting customers in a variety of applications. POLYOX™ WSR are thermoplastic and non-ionic polymers with high molecular weight. Bringing versatile performance properties typical of water-soluble polymers, including binding, lubricity, thickening, film-formation and adhesion functions, our POLYOX™ WSR family are a popular choice for many industrial applications.
However, unlike other polymers, our POLYOX™ WSR polymers combine water and solvent solubility and are unique in that they are thermo-elastic, but also exhibit thermoplastic behavior. This makes them ideal for calendaring, extrusion, injection-molding or casting. Choose the best grade for your specific formulation and processing requirements from our large product selection.
