It has been used in yacht racing by owners who want to gain a speed advantage by pumping a polymer solution such as low molecular weight polyoxyethylene in water, over the wetted surface of the hull.

For instance, CVS pharmacies could not forever maintain their walls of cigarettes at the checkout counter if the labels suddenly said " polyoxyethylene-8-stearate : a food emulsifier banned in 1952 for causing bladder stones and tumors ."

For the generic term " poloxamer ", these copolymers are commonly named with the letter " P " ( for poloxamer ) followed by three digits : the first two digits x 100 give the approximate molecular mass of the polyoxypropylene core, and the last digit x 10 gives the percentage polyoxyethylene content ( e . g.

The LMP batteries consist of a laminate of four ultra-thin materials : ( 1 ) metallic lithium foil anode that acts as both a lithium source and a current collector; ( 2 ) solid polymeric electrolyte created by dissolving a lithium salt in a solvating co-polymer ( polyoxyethylene ); ( 3 ) cathode composed of vanadium oxide, carbon, and polymer to form a plastic composite; and ( 4 ) aluminium foil current collector.

For the Pluronic and Synperonic tradenames, coding of these copolymers starts with a letter to define its physical form at room temperature ( L = liquid, P = paste, F = flake ( solid ) ) followed by two or three digits, The first digit ( two digits in a three-digit number ) in the numerical designation, multiplied by 300, indicates the approximate molecular weight of the hydrophobe; and the last digit x 10 gives the percentage polyoxyethylene content ( e . g ., L61 indicates a polyoxypropylene molecular mass of 1, 800 g / mol and a 10 % polyoxyethylene content ).
