ALKOX Resins are high molecular weight poly (ethylene oxide) with the following polyether structure,

and they are produced from ethylene oxide by a ring-opening polymerization process, using our original
catalyst. Their molecular weights range from 100,000 to 8 millions.
HO-CH2 (-O-CH2CH2)n-1OH
ALKOX Resins are supplied as white, granular powders with the melting point 65 - 67C and
are soluble in water in all proportions, and because of the unique nature of their aqueous solutions, they
have been used in a wide variety of Personal Care Applications.
