PEG400, full name polyethylene glycol 400, is a polymer formed by condensation reaction of ethylene glycol and ethylene oxide. It presents a colorless, transparent and viscous liquid form at room temperature. PEG400 has no pungent odor and slightly bitter taste, but it is well dissolved in water and soluble with many organic components.
In addition, PEG400 has excellent lubrication, moisturizing, dispersing and bonding properties, as well as low toxicity and non-irritant characteristics. PEG400 (polyethylene glycol 400), as an important chemical solvent and solutizer, is widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetics, chemical fiber, rubber, plastics and other fields.
In the pharmaceutical industry, PEG400 is widely used in the preparation of liquid preparations, such as oral liquid and eye drops. As a good solubilizer and surfactant, PEG400 can effectively promote the dissolution and dispersion of drug components, improve the bioavailability and therapeutic effect of drugs.
PEG400 is often used as a moisturizer and solutizer. PEG400 can also be used as an emulsifier and stabilizer in cosmetics to promote the mixing of different ingredients and maintain stability, thereby enhancing the overall performance of the product.
With its excellent lubricity and stability, PEG400 is often used as an industrial lubricant to effectively reduce friction and wear during operation of mechanical equipment. In addition, in the textile industry, PEG400 can play the role of softener and antistatic agent, improve the processing properties of fibers, and enhance the wearing comfort of fabrics. In the paper industry, PEG400 is used as a wetting agent and dispersant to help improve the uniformity and strength of paper.
