Overview of Polyethylene Glycol

Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) is a versatile polyether compound used across pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, and industrial applications. Known for its excellent solubility, stability, low toxicity, and lubricating properties, PEG is available in multiple grades such as PEG 200, PEG 300, PEG 400, PEG 600, PEG 1500, PEG 4000, PEG 6000, and more.

In pharmaceuticals, PEG is widely used as a solvent, binder, plasticizer, base for ointments, and carrier for APIs. In cosmetics, it functions as a humectant, moisturizer, and emulsifier. PEG is often formulated with ChemicalBull products such as Propylene Glycol, Glycerin, Carbomer, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, and Citric Acid.
