Features Of Dow PEG-1000 Polyethylene Glycol 1000

  1. Highly purified, low-volatility polyethylene glycol with consistent molecular weight distribution (Mn ≈ 1000 Da).

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

  3. Low toxicity and favorable regulatory profile, compliant with USP/EP monographs for pharmaceutical excipients.

  4. Thermally stable up to 150 °C, supporting processing in melt-based applications such as hot-melt adhesives and coatings.

  5. Non-ionic surfactant behavior with effective solubilizing and dispersing capabilities across diverse polar and semi-polar matrices.

Typical Applications Of Dow PEG-1000 Polyethylene Glycol 1000

  1. Pharmaceutical tablet binders and controlled-release matrix formers in oral solid dosage forms.

  2. Plasticizer and rheology modifier in water-based inks, coatings, and architectural paints.

  3. Humectant and solvent carrier in personal care formulations including creams, gels, and liquid soaps.

  4. Reaction medium and chain extender in polyurethane and polyester synthesis.

  5. Stabilizer and dispersant in agrochemical suspension concentrates (SC) and emulsifiable concentrates (EC).
