Product Introduction
PEG6000 (Polyethylene Glycol 6000) is a high molecular weight (~6000 g/mol) water-soluble polymer, appearing as white waxy solids or granules. Composed of repeating ethylene glycol units (-CH₂CH₂O-), it exhibits excellent hydrophilicity, lubricity, and biocompatibility with the following properties:
Solubility: Readily dissolves in water and polar solvents (e.g., ethanol), insoluble in oils
Stability: Chemically inert, hydrolysis-resistant, wide pH tolerance
Safety: Non-toxic and non-irritating
Product Applications:
1. Personal & Home Care:
Toothpaste thickener
Shampoo conditioning agent
Skincare emulsion stabilizer
2. Industrial & Materials Science:
Metalworking lubricant
Ceramic/plastic release agent
3. Food & Agriculture:
Food packaging film coating
Feed processing aid
