PEG-1000
Looking for a reliable solid-to-paste excipient for your pharmaceutical, cosmetic, or industrial formulations? As a leading supplier of specialty chemicals, Chemicalbull provides high-purity PEG-1000 (Polyethylene Glycol 1000). With its excellent water solubility, lubricating properties, and biocompatibility, our PEG-1000 is the ideal choice for manufacturers requiring a versatile base for ointments, suppository bases, and high-performance industrial coatings.
Overview of PEG-1000
PEG-1000 is a mid-range molecular weight polyethylene glycol. Unlike the liquid grades, PEG-1000 typically exists as a waxy white solid or flake, making it perfect for applications where a semi-solid consistency is required. It is a cornerstone ingredient in the Pharmaceutical Chemicals and Personal Care Chemicals sectors. At Chemicalbull, we ensure rigorous quality control to meet industry specifications, helping you streamline your procurement through a trusted, reliable supply chain.
Applications & Formulation Synergy
PEG-1000 acts as a highly functional ingredient. For advanced formulation development, it is highly compatible with other high-performance materials from our catalog:
Pharmaceuticals: Widely used as a base for suppositories and as a binder or lubricant in tablet formulations. It provides a stable matrix when combined with PEG-400 to achieve a specific desired melting point or viscosity.
Personal Care: Serves as a stabilizer and thickening agent in creams and lotions. Its texture-enhancing properties are optimized when formulated alongside emulsifiers like Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate.
Industrial Lubrication: Functions as a solid lubricant and mold release agent in rubber and plastic manufacturing. It provides excellent surface finishing when used in tandem with Caryophyllene 80% for specialized industrial blends.
Surface Treatment: Used in metalworking fluids to provide a protective, lubricious film. Its performance is often bolstered when blended with Morpholine for pH control and anti-corrosive efficiency.
Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a solubilizer and solvent for high-melting-point active ingredients, often working in synergy with Triethanolamine to ensure stable, uniform delivery in complex formulations.
Safety & Handling Guidelines
Storage: Store in a cool, dry area away from direct heat sources to prevent melting. Keep containers tightly sealed to avoid clumping due to the material's hygroscopic nature.
Safety: PEG-1000 is generally recognized as safe for a wide range of topical and internal applications. Use standard industrial PPE (gloves and goggles) during bulk handling.
Documentation: Every batch is supplied with a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) and MSDS, ensuring full compliance for your quality audits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the physical state of PEG-1000?
PEG-1000 typically appears as a waxy white solid, flake, or powder at room temperature, which distinguishes it from the liquid PEG grades like PEG-400.Can PEG-1000 be used to adjust the viscosity of liquid formulations?
Yes, it is often blended with lower-molecular-weight PEGs (like PEG-400) to create mixtures with a specific, tailored consistency, ranging from thick liquids to firm pastes.Is it suitable for pharmaceutical applications?
Yes, our PEG-1000 is produced to high standards, making it suitable for use as an excipient in pharmaceutical products, including topical ointments and suppository bases.
