Still Not Familiar with PEG

Polyethylene glycol PEG is prepared by the stepwise addition reaction of ethylene oxide with water or ethylene glycol as raw materials, and its raw materials mainly come from petroleum products. Polyethylene glycol PEG is a polymer of ethylene oxide and water. It is a white paraffin-like flake or powder solid that is odorless or has a weak odor.

Polyethylene glycol 400 appears as a colorless or almost colorless viscous liquid; Slightly smelly. This product is easily soluble in water or ethanol, but insoluble in ether.

Polyethylene glycol 6000 is a white waxy solid flake or granular powder. Slightly smelly. This product is easily soluble in water or ethanol, but insoluble in ether.

Polyethylene glycol PEG

Polyethylene glycol PEG can be used as a medium for organic synthesis and a heat carrier with higher requirements, and is used as a moisturizer, an inorganic salt solubilizer and a viscosity regulator in the daily chemical industry. The details are as follows:

(1) Polyethylene glycol PEG can be used as a non-volatile carrier of deodorant and flavor enhancer, neutral fixation agent of essence, evaporation blocker of nail polish remover, solvent enhancer of cosmetic formula (such as lip balm). As a non-toxic and pollution-free additive, PEG is used to adjust the consistency of toothpaste formulations for long-term storage. PEG can also be used as a consistency adjustment agent for shampoos, facial cleansers, shaving agents and hair removal agents.

(2) PEG can be used as a non-grease lubricant for the front and rear shaving agent and a softening agent in the eruption agent.

(3) In the soap-making industry, polyethylene glycol PEG as an auxiliary auxiliary can be used as an emulsifying agent, plasticity accelerator, and the shape is bright; In addition, the use of PEG can retain the aroma of soap, textile soap dry crack, broken.

Polyethylene glycol PEG is non-toxic, non-irritating, has good water solubility, and has good compatibility with many organic components. They have excellent lubricity, moisture, dispersion, adhesive, antistatic agent and softening agent, etc., in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, chemical fiber, rubber, plastics, paper, paint, electroplating, pesticides, metal processing and food processing industries have a wide range of applications.
