BP10993 PLGA 75:25, Lauryl Ester Terminated, IV ≤ 0.18 dl/g, Mw ≤ 15 kDa

PLGA 75:25, Lauryl Ester Terminated, IV ≤ 0.18 dl/g, Mw ≤ 15 kDa Description

BP10993 is a lauryl ester-terminated PLGA 75:25 copolymer with a controlled low molecular weight (Mw ≤ 15 kDa) and low intrinsic viscosity (IV ≤ 0.18 dl/g). Its 75:25 monomer ratio provides a slower degradation rate and better mechanical integrity compared to 50:50 PLGA. The standard lauryl ester end group imparts defined hydrophobic characteristics, enabling more tunable degradation kinetics and improved compatibility with non-polar systems. This material offers excellent processing flexibility for applications requiring long-acting performance, precision coating, or mild processing conditions. It is designed for researchers and formulators seeking predictable, long-lasting performance in sustainable and high-performance product development.

Additional Information

The combination of a higher lactide ratio (75:25) and lauryl ester termination in this PLGA creates a unique "hydrophobic-slow degrading" profile. This makes it particularly suitable for applications requiring delayed initial hydration, extended functional duration, or enhanced compatibility with lipophilic components.
