BP10985 PLGA 50:50, Lauryl Ester Terminated, IV: 0.18–0.55 dl/g, Mw: 15–70 kDa

PLGA 50:50, Lauryl Ester Terminated, IV: 0.18–0.55 dl/g, Mw: 15–70 kDa Description

BP10985 is a lauryl ester-terminated PLGA 50:50 copolymer within a medium molecular weight range (Mw: 15–70 kDa) and corresponding intrinsic viscosity range (IV: 0.18–0.55 dl/g). The standard lauryl ester end group imparts a defined hydrophobic character, enabling tailored degradation kinetics and improved compatibility with non-polar systems. This material provides an optimal balance of mechanical integrity, processability, and controllable degradation for applications requiring intermediate-term performance in industrial, coating, and controlled-release applications.
