PEG - 1500 (Polyethylene Glycol 1500)

PEG-1500 is a polyethylene glycol polymer that appears as a White solid with excellent water solubility and chemical stability. It is non-toxic, non-volatile, and hygroscopic in nature, making it useful in a wide range of industrial and formulation applications. PEG-1500 has good lubricating, binding, thickening, and moisturizing properties, along with compatibility with many organic and inorganic substances.
In applications, PEG-1500 is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry as a base for ointments, tablet binders, and suppository formulations. In the cosmetic and personal care industry, it functions as an emollient, thickener, and moisturizing agent in creams, lotions, shampoos, and cleansers. It is also used in industrial lubricants, textile processing, and chemical formulations as a dispersing and processing aid. Additionally, it serves as a carrier and stabilizer in specialty chemical applications. Overall, PEG-1500 is a versatile multifunctional polymer used across pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial sectors.
