Application
Polyethylene Glycol 400 is a clear liquid with an average molecular weight of 400. It is soluble in water and other polar organic solvents. PEG 400 is useful in a wide variety of applications including lubricants, plastics, paper, pharmaceuticals, personal care, and food industries. PEG 400 is useful as a viscosity modifier, plasticizer, and heat transfer agent in many industrial applications. Because it its humectant properties, it can be used in many personal care formulations for ointments and creams. It is also used in gelatin capsules as liquid carriers. Because of PEG 400’s hydroxyl groups, it can also be used as a chemical intermediate.
