Chemical Properties Of Polyethylene Glycol 400 Cas 25322-68-3

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a linear polymer formed by the stepwise addition polymerization of ethylene oxide with water or ethylene glycol. It exhibits excellent hygroscopicity, lubricity, and adhesive properties. Its chemical formula is HO-(CH₂CH₂O)_ₙ-H, where n represents the degree of polymerization, which determines the molecular weight. The number following the commercial PEG designation indicates its average molecular weight. For example, PEG-400 denotes an average molecular weight of approximately 400.

Product Application Of Polyethylene Glycol 400 Cas 25322-68-3

  1.  Polyethylene Glycol enhances solubility and stability of poorly soluble drugs, prepares sustained-release formulations, and serves as a lubricant (e.g., for catheters, endoscopes).
  2.  As a humectant, emulsifier, and thickener, Polyethylene Glycol is added to cosmetics such as lotions, creams, and masks.
  3.  Industrially, PEG serves as a lubricant and dispersant in metalworking, a fabric softener and antistatic agent in textiles, and a plasticizer.
  4.  Polyethylene Glycol is also used in coatings and inks, circuit board cleaners, and flux agents.
  5.  As an emulsifier, stabilizer, and lubricant, Polyethylene Glycol is approved by the FDA for use in chocolate, confectionery, and similar products.
