Polyethylene Glycol 1000 (PEG 1000) is a high-purity, non-ionic polymer derived from ethylene oxide, with an average molecular weight of approximately 1000. It meets NF/USP and food-grade specifications, ensuring safety, consistency, and reliability for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and personal care applications.
PEG 1000 is a white, wax-like solid that is odorless, water-soluble, and chemically stable. It functions as a humectant, plasticizer, solubilizer, lubricant, and ointment base. Its ability to dissolve in both water and many organic solvents makes it an ideal multifunctional ingredient for creams, lotions, ointments, and toothpaste formulations.
Applications
Pharmaceuticals – Used as an ointment base, suppository base, binder, and solubilizer
Adhesives – Acts as a humectant and plasticizer to improve flexibility and adhesion
Chemical Intermediates – Serves as a raw material or carrier in chemical formulations
Creams and Lotions – Provides moisture retention, smooth texture, and stability
Excipients (Ointments / Topical / Suppository Base) – Used as a vehicle and emulsifier in drug formulations
Inks – Functions as a dispersant and viscosity modifier for uniform printing quality
Lubricants – Provides slip, anti-friction, and water-soluble lubrication in industrial uses
Mold Release Agent – Prevents sticking and aids in easy removal of molded products
Plasticizer – Enhances flexibility and durability in various polymeric materials
