Description

Poly(1-Glycerol Methacrylate) is a hydrophilic, biocompatible polymer derived from glycerol methacrylate monomers. This versatile material is valued for its ability to form hydrogels and impart moisture retention, lubrication, and film-forming properties to formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biomedical, and personal care industries seeking advanced functional polymers for controlled-release systems, contact lens materials, and high-performance cosmetic products.

Application

• Biomedical Hydrogels: Used as a key component in soft tissue engineering scaffolds, wound dressings, and drug delivery matrices due to its excellent water absorption and biocompatibility.
• Contact Lens Materials: Serves as a hydrophilic monomer in the production of soft contact lenses to ensure high oxygen permeability and comfort.
• Controlled Drug Delivery Systems: Employed in the synthesis of polymeric carriers for sustained and targeted release of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a film-forming agent, moisturizer, and viscosity modifier in creams, lotions, and serums.
• Bioadhesives & Sealants: Utilized in the development of medical-grade adhesives for surgical and dental applications.
• Chromatography Media: Acts as a base material for hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) stationary phases.
• Surface Coatings: Provides hydrophilic and antifouling properties to coatings for medical devices and implants.

Quality Control

Our Poly(1-Glycerol Methacrylate) is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent molecular weight distribution, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, residual monomer content, and viscosity are provided to guarantee compliance with your specific application requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption.
