polymer

Paraformaldehyde (PFA) is the smallest polyoxymethylene, the polymerization product of formaldehyde with a typical degree of polymerization of 8–100 units. Paraformaldehyde commonly has a slight odor of formaldehyde due to decomposition. Paraformaldehyde is a poly-acetal.

semicrystalline thermoplastic with high mechanical and chemical resistance

Polidocanol is a local anaesthetic and antipruritic component of ointments and bath additives. It relieves itching caused by eczema and dry skin. It has also been used to treat varicose veins, hemangiomas, and vascular malformations. It is formed by the ethoxylation of dodecanol.

Nonoxynols, also known as nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs), are a group of nonionic surfactants within the alkyl phenol ethoxylate superfamily. Alkyl phenol ethoxylates (APEs, APEO) have the chemical formula (1&nbsp;<&nbsp;n&nbsp;<&nbsp;20). Nonoxynols are the subfamily of APEs with R&nbsp;=&nbsp;iso- (iso-nonyl). Like almost all APEs, nonoxynols are colorless (or nearly so) oils. Nonoxynols are used as detergents, emulsifiers, wetting agents or defoaming agents. The most commonly discussed compound nonoxynol-9 is a spermicide, formulated primarily as a component of vaginal foams and creams. Non

Polytetrahydrofuran, also called poly(tetramethylene ether) glycol or poly(tetramethylene oxide), is a collection of chemical compounds with formula or HO((CH2)4O-)n-H. The material is a mixture of polyether diols terminated with alcohol groups. It is produced by polymerization of tetrahydrofuran as well as 1,4-butanediol.
