Polyethylene glycol is a polymer with linear structure. It is formed by the reaction of ethylene glycol and ethylene oxide. Polyethylene glycol can be used in medicine, cosmetics, food, plastics, coatings and other fields.
Pharmaceutical field: Polyethylene glycol is often used as a solvent, carrier and stabilizer of drugs to increase the bioavailability and stability of drugs.
Cosmetics: polyethylene glycol can be used as skin moisturizer, emulsifier, thickener, etc. It can increase the viscosity and stability of cosmetics, and has good permeability and moisture retention.
Food field: polyethylene glycol can be used as a food additive to increase the viscosity and taste of food, and also to prevent food drying and hardening.
Plastic field: polyethylene glycol can be used to manufacture polymer materials such as polyether ketone and polyester. It can improve the strength, toughness and wear resistance of plastics.
Coating field: polyethylene glycol can be used as a thickener, dispersant and stabilizer of coatings. It can increase the viscosity and stability of the coating, and has good dispersion and fluidity.
