MPEG 1000

What is MPEG 1000?

 

MPEG 1000 is a type of Methoxy polyethylene glycol with a Molecular Weight of 1000 that provides enhanced solvency, lubricity, hygroscopicity, and slightly more hydrophobic solvent properties.  

MPEG 1000 is used as an important intermediate in adhesives, chemical intermediates, inks and dye carriers, lubricants, and soaps and detergents​​.

Applications of MPEG 1000:

MPEG 1000 is a raw material for 3rd generation concrete superplasticizers.

MPEG 1000 is an effective component of PCE superplasticizer admixtures.

MPEG 1000 is an intermediate in synthesizing superplasticizers (concrete admixtures) and pigment dispersants.

MPEG 1000 is used as a raw material in producing polycarboxylate ether superplasticizers.

The polycarboxylic acid superplasticizer is prepared with acrylic acid, MPEG 1000, and sodium vinyl sulfonate, and through the esterification of acrylic acid and MPEG 1000 in the water 

Methoxy polyethylene glycol ether with a molecular weight of 1000 g/mole is commonly used as a chemical intermediate in producing alkyd emulsions and HEUR thickeners.

MPEG 1000 is used for a wide variety of chemical reactions. 

MPEG 1000 acts as end-capping and hydrophilic components with isocyanates and polyester

When MPEG 1000 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) 1000 is used in pressure-sensitive and thermoplastic adhesives.

MPEG 1000 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*) 

MPEG 1000 is a waxy white to slightly yellowish solid at room temperature. 

MPEG 1000 can be supplied as melt in heated tank trucks or solid in steel drums. 

MPEG 1000 is soluble in water and solvents like acetate and methanol. 

MPEG 1000 can be considered a high molecular alcohol and, therefore, displays typical chemical reactions of alcohols.

MPEG 1000 is a linear, mono hydroxy-functional polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether (M-PEG) that is entirely water-soluble.
