Overview of Poloxamer 407
Poloxamer 407 is a non-ionic triblock copolymer composed of poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(propylene oxide). It is widely used as a surfactant, emulsifier, solubilizer, and rheology modifier in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial formulations. Poloxamer 407 is known for its thermoreversible gelation behavior, high purity, and excellent biocompatibility, making it suitable for advanced formulation systems.
In industrial and pharmaceutical applications, Poloxamer 407 is valued for consistent molecular weight distribution, stability, and compatibility with active ingredients. It is frequently used alongside Poloxamer 188, PEG derivatives, and Propylene Glycol, available on ChemicalBull, enabling seamless formulation and product interlinking.
