Epichlorohydrin-sucrose copolymer
What is Epichlorohydrin-sucrose copolymer?
Epichlorohydrin-sucrose copolymer (CAS 72146-89-5), commercially known as Dehscofix CO 70, is a crosslinked polysaccharide-based polymer used as a rheology modifier in biotechnology and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Where is Epichlorohydrin-sucrose copolymer used?
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing: rheological profile modifier
- Biotechnology: downstream bioprocessing where controlled viscosity aids filtration and separation
- Purification workflows and formulation development of hydrogels and matrix systems
- It controls viscosity and flow behaviour in aqueous systems.
Good to know: Crosslinked polymer networks are needed to achieve target release or structural properties. Buyers should confirm grade specifications, concentration and compliance documentation with the supplier.
