Polyethylene Glycol 200 (PEG 200)
Experience superior quality and versatility with Polyethylene Glycol 200, commonly known as PEG 200. This polyether compound is indispensable in various industries, particularly pharmaceutical manufacturing, where it serves as both an excipient and active ingredient. Its exceptional low toxicity allows PEG 200 to function effectively as a lubricating coating for surfaces in both aqueous and non-aqueous environments.
PEG 200 is also utilized in biochemistry as a reagent to generate very high osmotic pressures and acts as a polar stationary phase for gas chromatography. Its role as a binder further demonstrates its utility across multiple applications.
