Applications
Polyethylene Glycols are series of low to medium molecular weight polyether idols having primary hydroxyl group at each and all Polyethylene Glycols are completely soluble in water, very low toxicity, quite blend, non-irritating and possess wide compatibility good solvent action, good stability and good lubricity, etc. This unusual combination of properties has enabled them to find a very wide range of commercial application in field of pharmaceuticals, Cosmetics, Paper, Textiles, Rubber, Ceramics, Wood processing, Packing and manufacturing of surfactant, dispersant resin and plastics etc.
Polyethylene Glycols derivatives like mono and diesters of fatty acids are widely used as a surface active agent, emulsifiers and lubricants.
Glycol Polyethylene 400 or PEG 400 is most popular product is used in various industries like Textile, Lather, Pharmaceuticals, etc. Some special molecular weight of Glycol Polyethylene like PEG 200 & PEG 4000 are widely used in the industries.
A letters numbers identifies each of the Polyethylene Glycols and it’s also indicates the average molecular weight
