PEG-200: Can be used as a medium in organic synthesis and as a high-demand heat transfer fluid. In the daily chemical industry, it is used as a humectant, inorganic salt solubilizer, and viscosity modifier. In the textile industry, it serves as a softener and antistatic agent. In the paper and pesticide industries, it is used as a wetting agent.
PEG-400: PEG-400 is suitable for making soft capsules. As a liquid, PEG-400 has broad compatibility with various solvents, making it an excellent solvent and solubilizer. It is widely used in liquid formulations such as oral liquids and eye drops. When vegetable oil is unsuitable as a carrier for active ingredients, PEG is the material of choice. This is mainly due to its stability and resistance to spoilage. PEG-containing injections are safe and stable when heated to 150°C. Additionally, it can be mixed with higher molecular weight PEGs, and the mixture exhibits excellent solubility and good drug compatibility.
PEG-400, 600, 800: Used as a base in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, and as a lubricant and wetting agent in the rubber and textile industries. PEG-600, when added to electrolytes in the metal industry, enhances grinding effects and improves the gloss of metal surfaces.
PEG-1450, 3350: PEG-1450 and 3350 are suitable for making ointments, suppositories, and creams. Due to their high water solubility and wide melting point range, PEG-1450 and 3350 can be used alone or in blends to achieve long shelf life and meet the required melting point range for pharmaceutical and physical effects. Suppositories using a PEG base are less irritating than those using traditional fat bases.

PEG-1000, PEG-1500: Used as a base or lubricant and softener in the pharmaceutical, textile, and cosmetics industries. In the coatings industry, they serve as dispersants to improve the water dispersibility and flexibility of resins, with a usage rate of 10-30%. In inks, they enhance the solubility of dyes and reduce volatility, making them particularly suitable for stencil and stamp pad inks. They can also be used in ballpoint pen inks to adjust ink viscosity. In the rubber industry, they act as dispersants to promote vulcanization and serve as dispersants for carbon black fillers.
