About Propylene Glycol PEG

Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) is a polymer of ethylene oxide available in multiple molecular weights such as PEG 200, PEG 400, PEG 600, PEG 1500, PEG 4000, PEG 6000, etc. PEG products are used as lubricants, plasticizers, surfactants, pharmaceutical bases, emulsifiers, and viscosity modifiers.

Both materials offer exceptional thermal stability, water solubility, and formulation flexibility for industrial and personal care products.
