Features Of BASF Pluriol PEG600 Polyethylene Glycol

  1. Highly purified, low-volatility liquid with consistent molecular weight distribution (target Mn ≈ 600 g/mol).

  2. Excellent water solubility and hygroscopicity, enabling efficient formulation in aqueous systems.

  3. Low toxicity and favorable regulatory profile, compliant with major global food contact and pharmaceutical excipient guidelines (e.g., USP/NF, Ph. Eur., FCC).

  4. Thermally stable up to 150 °C under inert conditions, supporting processing in extrusion, coating, and melt-blending operations.

  5. Non-ionic surfactant functionality with proven compatibility with polymers, APIs, and active ingredients across diverse matrices.

Typical Applications Of BASF Pluriol PEG600 Polyethylene Glycol

  1. Pharmaceutical tablet and capsule lubricant and binder in direct compression and wet granulation processes.

  2. Plasticizer and processing aid for biodegradable polymers such as polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA).

  3. Humectant and viscosity modifier in personal care formulations including creams, gels, and oral care products.

  4. Carrier and solubilizer for agrochemical active ingredients in suspension concentrates (SC) and emulsifiable concentrates (EC).

  5. Reaction medium and molecular weight regulator in polyester and polyurethane synthesis.
