PEG 300
PEG 300 (Polyethylene glycol 300) is condensation polymers of ethylene oxide and water with the general formula OH n(OCH2CH2) H. This polymer is the most important commercial type of polyether. PEG 300 is colorless, odorless, viscous liquid with a melting point of about 10-C (diethylene glycol), while polymerized compounds with a molecular mass of more than 1000 are waxy solids with a melting point of about C ˚67 (for n = 180). PEG 300 has diverse applications, while their chemical properties are almost similar. PEG 300 is soluble in water, methanol, benzene and dichloromethane and insoluble in diethyl ether and hexane.
PEG 300 Applications
PEG 300 is non-toxic, odorless, neutral, lubricating, non-volatile and anti-inflammatory and PEG 300 has various industrial applications such as use PEG 300 in adhesives, ceramics, pulp and paper, metal plating, lubricants, agriculture and PEG 300 using in detergents and cleaners.
PEG 300 Packing
PEG 300 is packing in 220 liter new steel or Polyethylene drums. Also drums of PEG300 can be put on pallets and stripped, based on customer order.
PEG 300 Export destinations
PEG 300 is forwarding to customers which are using this product as an adhesive, ceramics, pulp and paper, metal plating, lubricants, agriculture and using PEG 300 in detergents and cleaner industries to some countries such as CIS, Europe, middle east, East Asian, Turkey, Pakistan.
