Features Of Polyethylene Glycol PEG200

  1. Low molecular weight liquid polymer with excellent water solubility and hygroscopicity.

  2. Non-toxic, non-irritating, and compliant with major pharmacopeial standards (USP/EP).

  3. Chemically stable under normal storage conditions and compatible with a wide range of active ingredients.

  4. Acts as an effective solvent, plasticizer, and humectant in formulation systems.

  5. Free from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and suitable for low-emission industrial processes.

Typical Applications Of Polyethylene Glycol PEG200

  1. Pharmaceutical excipient in liquid oral formulations, ointments, and suppository bases.

  2. Carrier solvent and viscosity modifier in cosmetics and personal care products (e.g., creams, gels, toothpastes).

  3. Humectant and processing aid in textile dyeing and printing auxiliaries.

  4. Reaction medium and dispersant in polymer synthesis and agrochemical formulation.

  5. Component in industrial cleaning agents and metalworking fluid additives.
