ExpertGel® EG 312

1 of 2 products in this brand
ExpertGel® EG 312 are thermogelling polymers capable of changing state depending on temperature. At low concentration in water, they are in liquid form at room temperature and gel when the temperature increases. This gelation phenomenon is perfectly reversible and adjustable. ExpertGels are formed from thermosensitive hydrophobic segments of the polypropylene oxide (POP) type and of hydrophilic parts of the polyethylene oxide type.The formation of the gel is explained by the self-association of the hydrophobic portions in micro-domains from the LCST (Lower Critical Solubility Temperature), all of the polymer being maintained in solution by the hydrophilic segments.
