Application
Polyethylene Glycol 200 (PEG 200) is a heat-stable, hygroscopic polyethylene glycol with low vapor pressure and excellent humectant properties. It is completely soluble in water, molecularly stable, non-volatile, and characterized by low toxicity, making it highly versatile in formulation applications. PEG 200 provides enhanced solvency, lubricity, and hygroscopicity, offering key functional benefits across industries. In pharmaceuticals, it is widely used as a base in preparations, serving effectively as a thickening agent, suspending agent, and binder.
