Features Of Polyethylene Glycol PEG800

  1. Non-toxic, non-irritating, and biocompatible polymer suitable for pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations.

  2. Excellent water solubility and hygroscopicity, enabling effective moisture retention and formulation stability.

  3. Low volatility and high thermal stability, supporting safe handling and processing in industrial applications.

  4. Consistent molecular weight distribution (Mn ≈ 750–850 Da) ensuring reproducible performance across batches.

  5. Easily customizable for derivatization (e.g., methylation, esterification) to expand functional utility.

Typical Applications Of Polyethylene Glycol PEG800

  1. Pharmaceutical excipient for oral liquid formulations, ointments, and controlled-release drug delivery systems.

  2. Humectant and solvent in personal care products including moisturizers, shampoos, and toothpastes.

  3. Processing aid and dispersant in agrochemical formulations for improved active ingredient solubilization.

  4. Component in industrial lubricants and metalworking fluids for enhanced film-forming and corrosion inhibition.

  5. Carrier medium for analytical standards and calibration solutions in laboratory and QC environments.
