Peg - 4000

Description :

Overview of PEG-4000

PEG-4000 (Polyethylene Glycol 4000) is a high-purity, non-ionic polymer widely utilized in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial sectors as a versatile binder, lubricant, and solubility enhancer. This high-molecular-weight grade typically appears as white, waxy flakes or powder and is renowned for its excellent water solubility and thermal stability. As a critical industrial-grade ingredient, PEG-4000 acts as a moisture stabilizer and consistency regulator in solid and semi-solid formulations.

At ChemicalBull Pvt. Ltd., we are recognized as a leading chemical distributor and supplier in India, providing premium PEG-4000 that meets international quality standards. Whether you are looking for a reliable chemical manufacturer or a trusted vendor for wholesale chemical pricing, we offer ready stock and technical support to optimize your production efficiency.

Applications of PEG-4000

Pharmaceutical Excipients & Drug Delivery

In the pharma industry, PEG-4000 is a staple excipient for tablet and capsule manufacturing. It serves as an effective binder and plasticizer. As a top-rated chemical vendor in Vapi, we recommend pairing it with Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) and Magnesium Stearate to achieve superior tablet hardness and disintegration profiles.

Personal Care & Cosmetic Formulations

PEG-4000 is extensively used in soaps, dental creams, and skin lotions to provide a smooth texture and control viscosity. It works perfectly alongside other moisture-regulating agents like Sorbitol 70% and Glycerin to enhance the luxurious feel and stability of the final product.

Rubber & Plastic Industry

In industrial manufacturing, it acts as an internal lubricant and mold release agent, preventing polymers from sticking to processing equipment. To further improve processing performance, many manufacturers utilize our high-purity Stearic Acid in combination with PEG-4000 for optimized thermal stability.

Textile & Paper Processing

It is used as a softening agent and lubricant in textile finishing and as a coating component in paper manufacturing. As a reputable chemical sourcing partner, we provide PEG-4000 that integrates well with Ethylene Glycol for specialized industrial lubricating systems.

Safety Precautions When Handling PEG-4000

• Store in a cool, dry warehouse, protected from moisture and direct heat.

• Wear appropriate PPE, including dust masks and gloves, during bulk handling of flakes.

• Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents to maintain chemical integrity.

• Keep packaging tightly sealed to prevent the absorption of atmospheric moisture (hygroscopic nature).

• Refer to the guidelines provided by our technical data sheet (TDS) provider for safe industrial storage.
