Poloxamer 188, 100 g

Poloxamer 188 is produced to comply with established chemical quality standards. It is a nonionic surfactant with a molecular formula of C53H104O33, weighing approximately 2181.9 g/mol. This compound belongs to the glycol ethers, polyethers substance group and high molecular compounds, polymers. Poloxamer 188 is a triblock copolymer consisting of a hydrophilic block of polyoxyethylene and two hydrophobic blocks of polyoxypropylene. This unique structure allows it to self-assemble into micelles in aqueous solutions, making it an effective emulsifier and solubilizer. In addition, it has been used extensively in pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications due to its ability to improve drug solubility and stability, as well as its low toxicity and biocompatibility.
