MPEG 2000 is a chemical based on methoxy PEG-40.

 

MPEG 2000 is used in pressure-sensitive and thermoplastic adhesives to increase adhesion strength – while the adhesive is still wet.

MPEG 2000 maintains wet adhesion strength in isocyanate and polyester adhesives.

 

MPEG 2000 is also an intermediate raw material for producing new-generation superplasticizers (Polycarboxylate ones).

 

MPEG 2000 provides lubricity and moisturizing properties to the final product in the formulations of Personal Care and Cosmetic products (For example, shaving foams and shaving gels)

MPEG 2000 Methoxy polyethylene Glycol by Ataman Chemicals is a methoxy PEG-40-based plasticizer. 

MPEG 2000 is used in pressure-sensitive and thermoplastic adhesives. 

Methoxy polyethylene Glycol MPEG 2000 possesses lubricity and humectant properties. 

MPEG 2000 maintains wet-tack strength.

MPEG 2000 is a linear, mono hydroxy-functional polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether (M-PEG) entirely water-soluble. 

MPEG 2000 is esterified with methacrylic acid to yield the corresponding polyglycol mono methacrylates used to polymerize polycarboxylate superplasticizers.

MPEG 2000 is a type of Methoxy polyethylene glycol with a Molecular Weight of 2000 that provides enhanced solvency, lubricity, hygroscopicity, and slightly more hydrophobic solvent properties.  

MPEG 2000 is an essential raw material in adhesives, chemical intermediates, inks and dye carriers, lubricants, soaps, and detergents​​.

Poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether 2000 MW:

MPEG 2000 is a chain transfer agent to synthesize amphiphilic block copolymers by metal-free ring-opening oligomerization.

MPEG 2000 is a precursor to prepare retinoic acid-polyethylene glycol nanoassembly as an efficient drug delivery system.

MPEG 2000 is used to prepare diblock copolymer with polylactic acid, which can be applied in tissue engineering and drug delivery.

Applications of MPEG 2000:

MPEG 2000 is a raw material for 3rd generation concrete superplasticizers.

MPEG 2000 is an effective component of PCE superplasticizer admixtures.

MPEG 2000 is an intermediate in synthesizing superplasticizers (concrete admixtures) and pigment dispersants.

MPEG 2000 is used as a raw material in producing polycarboxylate ether superplasticizers.

The polycarboxylic acid superplasticizer is prepared with acrylic acid, MPEG 2000, and sodium vinyl sulfonate through the esterification of acrylic acid and MPEG 2000 in the water. 

Methoxy polyethylene glycol ether with a molecular weight of 2000 g/mole is commonly used as a chemical intermediate in producing alkyd emulsions and HEUR thickeners.

MPEG 2000 is used for a wide variety of chemical reactions. 

MPEG 2000 acts as end-capping and hydrophilic components with isocyanates and polyester

When MPEG 2000 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) 2000 is used in pressure-sensitive and thermoplastic adhesives.

MPEG 2000 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 2000 is a waxy white to slightly yellowish solid at room temperature. 

MPEG 2000 is available as flakes.

MPEG 2000 is soluble in water and solvents like acetate and methanol. 

MPEG 2000 can be considered a high molecular alcohol and, therefore, displays typical chemical reactions of alcohols.

MPEG 2000 is a linear, mono hydroxy-functional polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether (M-PEG) entirely water-soluble.

MPEG 2000 PRODUCT FUNCTION: Intermediate
