Peg - 1000

Description :

Overview of PEG-1000 

PEG-1000 (Polyethylene Glycol 1000) is a versatile, non-ionic polymer that serves as a high-performance solubilizer and consistency regulator. Unlike the liquid lower grades or the hard waxy higher grades, PEG-1000 has a soft, paste-like to semi-solid consistency at room temperature. This unique physical property makes it an indispensable industrial-grade ingredient for manufacturers who require a binder that is easy to blend but provides structural stability to the finished product.

At ChemicalBull Pvt. Ltd., we are a leading chemical company and a reliable chemical manufacturer and supplier of PEG-1000. As the best industrial chemical distributor in India, we provide this product with the highest purity levels, ensuring it meets the rigorous demands of both the pharmaceutical and specialty chemical industries.

Applications of PEG-1000

Specialty Lubricants & Cutting Oils

PEG-1000 is widely used in the metalworking industry as a base for water-soluble lubricants. Its excellent lubricity helps reduce friction during high-speed machining. For enhanced cooling and surface protection, it is often formulated with 1-2-dimethoxyethane  or Diethylene Glycol (DEG).

Textile Processing & Dyeing

In the textile sector, PEG-1000 acts as a dispersing agent and fiber lubricant, ensuring even dye penetration and preventing fiber breakage. As a reputable chemical sourcing partner, we recommend pairing it with Acetic Acid for pH control during the dyeing process to achieve vibrant and consistent color results.

Adhesives & Resin Plasticizers

It is used as a plasticizer in the production of high-quality adhesives and synthetic resins to improve flexibility. In resin formulations, it works synergistically with Maleic Anhydride to modify the polymer's physical properties, ensuring it remains durable yet flexible under stress.

Personal Care & Ointment Bases

Because of its soft, semi-solid texture, PEG-1000 is an ideal base for medicated ointments and cosmetic creams. It integrates smoothly with skin-soothing agents like Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) to create formulations that are highly stable and easily absorbed by the skin.

Safety Precautions When Handling PEG-1000

• Store in a cool, dry area in tightly sealed containers; avoid exposure to high humidity.

• Handle with standard industrial PPE, including protective gloves and safety glasses.

• Ensure proper ventilation in the storage area to prevent any buildup of vapors if heated.

• Avoid contact with strong acids and oxidizing agents to prevent chemical degradation.

• For complete safety data, refer to the guidelines provided by our technical data sheet (TDS) provider.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the physical state of PEG-600 at room temperature?

   PEG-600 is a clear, colorless, and viscous liquid at room temperature 25 .C . Unlike higher molecular weight PEGs (like PEG-4000), it does not require heating for liquid-phase blending.
   
   

2. How does PEG-600 differ from PEG-400?

   The primary difference is the molecular weight. PEG-600 is slightly more viscous and has a higher boiling point than PEG-400. This makes it a better moisture-retaining agent (humectant) and a more robust lubricant in high-temperature industrial processes.
   
   

3. Is PEG-600 water-soluble?

   Yes, PEG-600 is completely soluble in water and is also miscible with many organic solvents like ethanol and glycols. This makes it an ideal carrier for both aqueous and solvent-based systems.
