PEG 9000

PEG 9000 is a Water soluble, lubricating component in metalworking fluids. PEG 9000 is also used in the following products: cosmetics and personal care products, pharmaceuticals, polymers, air care products, finger paints, and washing & cleaning products.

 

PEG 9000 is a white waxy solid at room temperature.

PEG 9000 can also be supplied as melt in heated tank trucks.

PEG 9000’s two hydroxy end groups as well as its ether groups mainly control the physical and chemical properties of PEG 9000. 

Therefore PEG 9000 is soluble in water and polar organic solvents like acetone or methanol. 

PEG 9000 is insoluble in pure hydrocarbons.

PEG 9000 displays typical chemical reactions of alcohols/diols.

PEG 9000 is also known as Polyethylene glycol 9000, polyethylene oxide (PEO), or polyoxyethylene (POE)

Production of PEG 9000:

PEG 9000, also called Polyethylene glycol 9000 or Macrogol, is manufactured by polymerization of ethylene oxide (EO) with either water, mono ethylene glycol, or diethylene glycol as starting material, under alkaline catalysis. 

PEG 9000 is used in Cosmetics and pharmaceutical formulations as a humectant or plasticizer for creams, tablets, and toothpaste.
PEG 9000 is a Component of auxiliaries for leather and textile processing and lubricant formulations.
PEG 9000 is a Lubricant and mold release agent for rubber, plastic, and elastomer processing.
PEG 9000 is Plasticizer and binder for ceramic and concrete manufacturing.

Applications of PEG 9000

Based on its physical and chemical characteristics -PEG 9000 is used for a wide variety of applications. 

Fields of application: 

PEG 9000 is a Reactive diol/polyether component in polyester or polyurethane resins

PEG 9000 is a Water soluble, lubricating component in metalworking fluids.

PEG 9000 is a Humectant for paper, wood, and cellulose films, a Solvent for dyes and inks, and a plasticizer for adhesives.

PEG 9000 is a Modifier for the production of regenerated viscose

PEG 9000 is used as a stabilizing agent for fragrance in the fabric care market and as a binder for solid particle delivery.

Applications of Polyethylene glycol 9000 in the detergent industry include washing powders and tabs, dissolving aids, tableting and granulation auxiliaries, binding agents, toilet blocks

Tablet Binding or Coating

Polyethylene glycol 9000 acts as a binder and filler offering internal and external lubrication. 

Polyethylene glycol 9000 is also an effective plasticizer in tablet coating formulations, providing good hardness, water solubility, and lubricity

Processing Aids

Polyethylene glycol 9000 has been in pharmaceutical granulation technology for decades. 

Polyethylene glycol 9000 can offer control to achieve a more uniform particle size distribution, reduce fines concentration, enhance tablet hardness, and add lubricity. 

Storage of PEG 9000

PEG 9000 can be kept for at least two years when stored in a cold, dry place in a closed container
