POLY ETHYLENE GLYCOL

Product Description

Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) is a polyether compound composedof repeating ethylene oxide units (-CH2-CH2-O-). PEGs are available in variousmolecular weights, indicated by numbers such as PEG 200, PEG 400, PEG 600,etc., which correspond to the average number of ethylene oxide units in thepolymer chain.

The primary application of Polyethylene Glycol is as aversatile polymer used in pharmaceuticals, personal care products, industrialprocesses, and chemical synthesis. PEGs are water-soluble and exhibit excellentbiocompatibility and lubricating properties.

In pharmaceuticals and personal care products, PolyethyleneGlycol is used as a base for ointments, creams, and lotions due to itsmoisturizing and emulsifying properties. PEGs are also used as solubilizers andstabilizers in liquid formulations and as excipients in oral and topicalmedications.

In industrial processes, Polyethylene Glycol serves as asurfactant, dispersant, and lubricant. It is used in the formulation ofdetergents, paints, coatings, and adhesives to improve product performance andstability. PEGs are also employed in chemical synthesis as reaction media andcatalyst supports.

Polyethylene Glycol is considered safe for use in variousapplications when handled according to recommended guidelines. However,specific precautions should be taken depending on the intended use andmolecular weight of the PEG. Proper handling, storage, and disposal practicesshould be followed to ensure product integrity and safety.

Wide Range of Applications

Polyethylene Glycol's unique chemical properties make it ideal for use across multiple industries. From pharmaceuticals and cosmetics to lubricants and industrial solvents, PEG serves crucial roles such as emulsification, solubilization, and stabilization, ensuring high performance in various formulations.


Stable, Safe, and Sustainable

With a shelf life of up to 24 months and stable performance under normal conditions, PEG is non-poisonous and odorless, adhering to USP/NF and BP standards. Its readily biodegradable nature promotes environmental responsibility, making it a preferred choice for manufacturers and suppliers alike.


Flexible Packaging and Storage

PEG is supplied in a range of packaging options-including plastic drums, IBC totes, and bulk tankers-to meet diverse logistical needs. Proper storage in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry area maximizes shelf life and ensures product integrity for end-users.
