Polyethylene oxide (PEO), also known as polyethylene oxide, is a high-molecular-weight homopolymer formed by the ring-opening polymerization of ethylene oxide through multiphase catalysis. Based on molecular weight, it is generally divided into two categories: those with a molecular weight below 1*10^5 are also called polyethylene glycol, typically liquid or waxy solids; those with a molecular weight above 1*10^5 are solids. High-molecular-weight polyethylene oxide is a water-soluble and thermoplastic nonionic linear polymer.

Function
Commonly used as a thickener for water-soluble adhesives, dispersed by boiling water dissolved or dissolved in a water-soluble non-aqueous solvent. Water soluble adhesive can also be directly prepared, 1% ~ 5%(mass) of water solution has a high viscosity. Used as thickener and dispersant for latex and paint remover in paint industry. Paper industry used as long fiber dispersant, filler retention agent, water-soluble low adhesive.
