Peg - 6000

Description :

Overview of PEG-6000

PEG-6000 (Polyethylene Glycol 6000) is a high-molecular-weight polymer widely valued for its exceptional binding, lubricating, and thickening properties. Appearing as white waxy flakes or powder, it is a versatile non-ionic compound known for its high water solubility and low toxicity. It is extensively used in the pharmaceutical industry as a tablet binder and in personal care as a texture enhancer and moisture stabilizer. As a critical industrial-grade ingredient, PEG-6000 is favored by manufacturers requiring a reliable chemical carrier that maintains structural integrity in solid formulations while ensuring rapid dissolution in water.

At ChemicalBull Pvt. Ltd., a leading chemical company and trusted industrial supplier, we supply premium-grade PEG-6000 with reliable sourcing support for pharmaceutical labs, cosmetic manufacturers, and industrial formulators.

Applications of PEG-6000

Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical Manufacturing

In the pharma sector, PEG-6000 is a vital excipient used as a binder and lubricant for tablets and capsules. As a reputable chemical manufacturing company, we know it works effectively with Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) and Magnesium Stearate to ensure uniform drug distribution and smooth tablet compression.

Personal Care & Cosmetic Products

It is widely used in soaps, creams, and toothpastes to control viscosity and prevent moisture loss. It integrates smoothly with Glycerin  and SLES 70% to provide a rich, smooth texture and enhance the skin-feel of rinse-off products like luxury soap bars.

Home Care & Detergent Tablets

Due to its solid nature and high solubility, it is used as a binder in detergent cakes and dishwasher tablets. As a reliable chemical sourcing partner, we provide high-purity grades that work alongside Sodium Carbonate (Soda Ash) to provide structural strength to cleaning blocks without affecting their dissolving speed.

Industrial Lubrication & Rubber Processing

In industrial manufacturing, PEG-6000 serves as a high-performance mold release agent and lubricant in the rubber and textile industries. As a reliable chemical vendor in Vapi, we offer this as a premium import substitute chemical in India. It is often paired with Ethylene Glycol for specialized heat-transfer and lubricating applications.

Safety Precautions When Handling PEG-6000

• Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse, away from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Use standard industrial PPE, including a dust mask and gloves, during bulk handling of flakes or powder.

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

• Keep bags or containers tightly sealed, as PEG is hygroscopic and can absorb moisture from the air.

• Follow MSDS guidelines provided by your technical data sheet (TDS) provider for safe industrial storage.
