Welcome at Oxaphil

In many industries and in everyday life, we are constantly surrounded by products made of plastics/polymers. One special application for polymers is the solubilization of water-insoluble substances such as vegetable oils or active pharmaceutical ingredients in an aqueous environment. This is achieved using special polymers such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) and its derivatives, which dominate the solubilizer market.

However, current studies show that contact with PEG leads to the formation of antibodies against PEG in a large number of people. This is problematic as it drastically limits the usability of PEG. This is where we come in – as an alternative to PEG, we offer poly(2-oxazoline)s (POx), which not only avoid the current problems of PEG, but also have superior properties to PEG, such as biocompatibility, more chemically usable groups or better solvent properties.
