PEG-400

Features

· Compatible with skin/water-soluble & -retainable/non-volatile/free from greasiness.
· Low acute toxicity/low irritancy to eyes & skins.
· This roduct and its aqueous solutions show excellent lubricity.
<Pharmaceutical Applications>
· Pharmacehtical grade is different as a trade name of MACROGOL that conforms to Japanese Pharmacopoeia.
<Cosmetics & Toiletries>
· Base material for the use of hair-care/skin-care.
· Water-soluble bases which have low acute toxicity and low irritation to the skins and eyes.
· Moisturizing agents/moistening agents/solvents.
· Biodegradability.
· PEG-400 can be applied as a water-soluble base for skin lotions.
· Used as the poor solvents and effective as the base materials.
· Water-soluble bases which have low acute toxicity and low irritation to the skins and eyes.
· Biodegradability.
· Used as a solubilizer for liquid detergents.
· Applicable as a moisturizer for toothpastes, facial cleaning foams, hair-care products and wet tissues due to their moisture-retention properties.
<Textiles>
· Perforating Agents - Applicable as perforating agents for hollow fibers and porous fibers.
<Papermaking>
· Suitable as paper softeners; the softening effect lasts a long time due to its low volatility.Particularly suitable for softening PVA films and cellophane.
· Anticurling Agents - Impregnation of paper with PEG-400 prevents the paper from curling due to the product's moistureretention property.
<Resins>
· Resin finish baths- Can be used in heating baths for bending such things as PVC pipes because it is water-soluble and can be easily rinsed out.
· Resin modifier- imparts flexibility and hydrophilic properties to polyester, polyurethane and alkyd resins when it modifies the resins by using its primary hydroxyl groups at both ends of its molecule.
<Agrichemicals>
· Auxiliaries-effective in controlling fluidity and anticaking for powdery preparations and flowable agrichemicals.
<Chemical Products>
· Surfactants-Various surfactants can be synthesized through reactions of the primary hydroxyl groups at both ends of the PEG molecule. Among them, the higher fatty acid esters of PEG products are surfactants that are widely used as emulsifiers, dispersants and detergents.
· Other Chemical Materials-The primary hydroxyl groups at both ends of the PEG molecule can be chemically changed to other groups (alkyl-etherified, aminated, carboxylated, glycidyl etherified, or esterified). These PEG derivatives can be used as raw materials for various chemical products.
<Others>
· Heating Mediums-Available as a heating medium. It has good thermal stability, a high boiling point and high specific heat. It is easily washed off with water.
·Sensitizers- PEG-400 mixed with saturated aliphatic polyhydric alcohol is effective as a sensitizer, improving the sensitivity and contrast of photosensitive films.
· Heat Reservoirs - Applicable as heat reservoirs due to its high fusion heat.
