What is Methoxypolyethylene glycol 500?

Methoxypolyethylene glycol 500 Methoxy polyethylene Glycol by Ataman Chemicals is a methoxy PEG-10-based plasticizer. 

Methoxypolyethylene glycol 500 is used in pressure-sensitive and thermoplastic adhesives. 

Methoxy polyethylene Glycol MPEG 500 possesses lubricity and humectant properties. 

Methoxypolyethylene glycol 500 maintains wet-tack strength.

Methoxypolyethylene glycol 500 is a linear, mono hydroxy-functional polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether (M-PEG) entirely water-soluble. 

Methoxypolyethylene glycol 500 is esterified with methacrylic acid to yield the corresponding polyglycol mono methacrylates used to polymerize polycarboxylate superplasticizers.

Methoxypolyethylene glycol 500 is a type of Methoxy polyethylene glycol with a Molecular Weight of 500 that provides enhanced solvency, lubricity, hygroscopicity, and slightly more hydrophobic solvent properties.  

Methoxypolyethylene glycol 500 is an essential raw material in adhesives, chemical intermediates, inks and dye carriers, lubricants, soaps, and detergents​​.

Poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether 500 MW:

MPEG 500 is a chain transfer agent to synthesize amphiphilic block copolymers by metal-free ring-opening oligomerization.

MPEG 500 is a precursor to prepare retinoic acid-polyethylene glycol nanoassembly as an efficient drug delivery system.

MPEG 500 is used to prepare diblock copolymer with polylactic acid, which can be applied in tissue engineering and drug delivery.

Applications of Methoxypolyethylene glycol 500:

Methoxypolyethylene glycol 500 is a raw material for 3rd generation concrete superplasticizers.

Methoxypolyethylene glycol 500 is an effective component of PCE superplasticizer admixtures.

Methoxypolyethylene glycol 500 is an intermediate in synthesizing superplasticizers (concrete admixtures) and pigment dispersants.

Methoxypolyethylene glycol 500 is used as a raw material in producing polycarboxylate ether superplasticizers.

The polycarboxylic acid superplasticizer is prepared with acrylic acid, MPEG 500, and sodium vinyl sulfonate through the esterification of acrylic acid and MPEG 500 in the water. 

Methoxy polyethylene glycol ether with a molecular weight of 500 g/mole is commonly used as a chemical intermediate in producing alkyd emulsions and HEUR thickeners.

MPEG 500 is used for a wide variety of chemical reactions. 

MPEG 500 acts as end-capping and hydrophilic components with isocyanates and polyester

When Methoxypolyethylene glycol 500 is reacted with unsaturated monomers like acrylic or methacrylic acid, esters are formed, which can be copolymerized to increase hydrophilicity and improve the dispersing properties of polymers in water. 

Methoxy polyethylene Glycol (MPEG) 500 is used in pressure-sensitive and thermoplastic adhesives.

MPEG 500 possesses lubricity & humectant properties and maintains wet-tack strength

Due to the low concentration of diols in poly-glycol M-types, almost no di-esters form during the reaction with acrylic or methacrylic acid.

In the USA, some M-type polyglycols are used for pharmaceutical applications. 

Product properties*) 

Methoxypolyethylene glycol 500 is a waxy white to slightly yellowish solid at room temperature. 

Methoxypolyethylene glycol 500 can be supplied as melt in heated tank trucks or solid in steel drums. 

Methoxypolyethylene glycol 500 is soluble in water and solvents like acetate and methanol. 

Methoxypolyethylene glycol 500 can be considered a high molecular alcohol and, therefore, displays typical chemical reactions of alcohols.

Methoxypolyethylene glycol 500 is a linear, mono hydroxy-functional polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether (M-PEG) entirely water-soluble.
