Features Of Dow PEG-600 Polyethylene Glycol 600

  1. Highly water-soluble, non-ionic polymer with excellent compatibility in polar and aqueous systems.

  2. Low volatility and high thermal stability, supporting safe handling and processing up to 150°C.

  3. Consistent molecular weight distribution (Mn ≈ 600 Da), ensuring reproducible performance in formulations.

  4. Non-toxic, non-irritating, and compliant with major global regulatory guidelines for industrial and personal care use.

  5. Effective humectant and solubilizer, enhancing formulation stability and ingredient dispersion.

Typical Applications Of Dow PEG-600 Polyethylene Glycol 600

  1. Pharmaceutical tablet binders and controlled-release matrix excipients.

  2. Personal care formulations — including moisturizers, cleansers, and hair conditioners — as a solubilizer and viscosity modifier.

  3. Industrial cleaning agents and detergent builders for improved soil suspension and rinseability.

  4. Chemical synthesis — serving as a reaction medium, catalyst carrier, or phase-transfer agent.

  5. Coatings and inks — acting as a plasticizer and coalescing aid to improve film formation and flexibility.
