1. Polyethylene glycol 6000 is a polymer composed of ethylene oxide and water shrinkage. The molecular formula is HO(CH2CH2O)nH, in which N represents the average value of oxygen vinyl, non-toxic without stimulation, widely used in a variety of pharmaceutical preparations. According to the degree of polymerization, there are a series of products. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is liquid when its molecular weight is less than 1000. It's solid above 1000.
2. Polyethylene glycol has many excellent properties: water soluble, non-volatile, physiological inertia, mild, lubricity and make skin moist, soft, pleasant after use, etc. Different molecular weight grades of polyethylene glycol can be selected to change the viscosity, hygroscopicity and structure of the product. Polyethylene glycol (Mre2000) has a low molecular weight and is suitable for wetting agent and consistency regulator, used in creams. Lotions, toothpastes and shaving creams are also used on dirty hair products to give hair a silky shine. Polyethylene glycol (Mr >2000)>2000) is suitable for lipstick, deodorant stick, soap, shaving soap, foundation, beauty cosmetics, etc. Polyethylene glycol is also used as a suspending agent and thickener in detergents. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used as a base for ointments, lotions, ointments, detergents and suppositories. PolyethyleneGlycolNF, DowchemicalCo.) is applied to foods and pharmaceuticals in the market.
