Parchem – fine & specialty chemicals is the premier supplier for many types of polyethylene glycol. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a polyether compound that has a wide variety of applications depending on the length of the polymer chain and the molecular weight of the final polymer. PEGs are typically prepared by polymerization of ethylene oxide and they can range in molecular weight from 200 g/mole to 8,000 g/mole.
Parchem supplies Polyethylene Glycol 1500 (PEG 1500), a waxy flake material that is useful for soap, detergents, pharmacology, cosmetics, textiles, and rubber manufacturing. One of the lowest molecular weight PEGs supplied by Parchem is Polyethylene Glycol 200 (PEG 200), a clear liquid that is useful for manufacturing surfactants and cleaning products. Additionally, Parchem’s most requested PEG is Polyethylene Glycol 3350 (PEG 3350) which is offered as NF Grade and is typically used as a laboratory reagent and in the manufacture of certain animal feed products. Parchem also offers Polyethylene Glycol 4000 (PEG 4000) and Polyethylene Glycol 8000 (PEG 8000), both of which are in high demand for their value in applications like cosmetics, pharmacology, and various industrial manufacturing processes.
Polyethylene glycols are a highly versatile family of chemicals that serve a variety of purposes in today’s manufacturing marketplace. PEGs are supplied as colorless liquids or white waxes, depending on the molecular weight of the polymer. Polyethylene glycols typically offer good lubricity, heat stability, and chemical resistance that make them ideal for dozens of applications. In a number of pharmaceutical products, polyethylene glycols are used as solvents (at low molecular weight) and excipients for tablets (at high molecular weight) to carry the active ingredients to their destination.
