PEG 4000
PEG 4000 (Polyethylene Glycol 4000) is a molecular grade of polyethylene glycol. PEG 4000 is a waxy solid with a melting point of approximately 60°C. Due to its low toxicity, PEG 4000 is widely used in various pharmaceutical formulations. Polyethylene glycols are produced from liquid ethylene oxide and water and have different derivatives.
PEG 4000 Applications
PEG 4000 is commonly used to thicken mild amphoteric surfactant systems such as baby shampoos, facial cream scrubs, lotion facial cleansers, body shampoos, body scrubs, and shaving foams. The use of PEG 4000 in colored cosmetic products plays a significant role as an auxiliary emulsifier. PEG 4000 (Polyethylene glycol 4000) is used in shampoo, body shampoo or foam. As a lubricant for tablets and capsules, PEG 4000 makes it easier for patients to swallow. PEG 4000 is used as a matrix in medicine, cosmetics and health industries. To adjust viscosity and melting point. PEG4000 as a lubricant and cooling agent in metal processing industries. In the industry of pesticides and pigments, PEG 4000 using as a dispersant and emulsifier. PEG 4000 as an anti-static agent in the textile industry.
PEG 4000 Packing
PEG 4000 is in solid and flake shape. PEG 4000 is packed in 25 kg sacks and putting on pallet.
