Features Of Dow PEG-8000 Polyethylene Glycol 8000

  1. High molecular weight (nominal 8,000 g/mol) providing excellent viscosity, film-forming ability, and thermal stability.

  2. Non-toxic, non-irritating, and compliant with major pharmacopeial standards including USP/EP for pharmaceutical use.

  3. Highly water-soluble with low volatility and negligible vapor pressure—ideal for aqueous processing environments.

  4. Chemically inert under neutral and mildly acidic/basic conditions, ensuring compatibility with sensitive actives and excipients.

  5. Consistent batch-to-batch quality backed by Dow’s stringent manufacturing controls and traceable documentation.

Typical Applications Of Dow PEG-8000 Polyethylene Glycol 8000

  1. Pharmaceutical tablet binder and controlled-release matrix former in oral solid dosage forms.

  2. Stabilizer and cryoprotectant in biologics formulation, including vaccines and monoclonal antibody solutions.

  3. Carrier and solubilizing agent in topical and transdermal drug delivery systems.

  4. Component in industrial lubricants and metalworking fluid additives for corrosion inhibition and boundary lubrication.

  5. Processing aid in polymer modification, particularly as a plasticizer and compatibilizer in hydrophilic blends.
