1. Polyethylene glycol series products can be used for pharmaceuticals. Relatively low molecular weight polyethylene glycol can be used as solvent, co-solvent, o/w emulsifier and stabilizer, used to make cement suspension, emulsion, injection, etc., also used as water- soluble ointment matrix and suppository matrix, relatively high molecular weight solid waxy polyethylene glycol is often used to increase the viscosity and solidification of low molecular weight liquid PEG, as well as compensation for other drugs. For drugs that are not easy to dissolve in water, this product can be used as a carrier of solid dispersion to achieve the purpose of solid dispersion, PEG4000, PEG6000 is a good coating material, Wrap hydrophilic polishing material, membrane and capsule, plasticizer, lubricant and drop pill matrix, used in the preparation of tablets, pills, capsules, microcapsules, etc.
2. Polyethylene glycol series products can be used as raw materials for ester surfactants.
3. PEG-200 can be used as a medium for organic synthesis and a heat carrier with high requirements, and is used as a wetting agent, inorganic salt solubilizer and viscosity modifier in the daily chemical industry. Used as a softener and antistatic agent in the textile industry. It is used as a wetting agent in the paper and pesticide industry.
4. PEG-400, PEG-600, PEG-800 are used as substrates for medicine and cosmetics, lubricants and wetting agents for rubber industry and textile industry. PEG-600 is added to the electrolyte in the metal industry to enhance the grinding effect and enhance the gloss of the metal surface.
5. PEG- 1000 and PEG- 1500 are used as substrates or lubricants and softeners in the pharmaceutical, textile and cosmetic industries; Used as a dispersant in the coating industry, improve the water dispersibility and flexibility of the resin, the dosage is 20-30%, The ink can improve the solubility of the dye and reduce its volatility, especially suitable in wax paper and ink pad, and can also be used in ballpoint pen ink to adjust the ink viscosity; In the rubber industry as a dispersant, promote. vulcanization is used as a dispersant of carbon black filler.
6.PEG-2000 is used as a metal processing casting agent. metal wire drawing, stamping or forming lubricant and cutting fluid, grinding cooling lubricant, polishing agent, welding agent, etc. It is used as a lubricant in the paper industry, and also as a hot melt adhesive to increase rapid rewetting capacity.

This series of products is non-toxic, non-flammable, according to the general chemical storage. It is transported as non-toxic and non-dangerous goods, stored in a dry and ventilated place, with a storage period of two years.
PEG200, PEG300, PEG400, PEG600, PEG800, and PEG1000 are the main types of PEG, polyethylene glycol. They are also known as polyethylene glycol 200, polyethylene glycol 300, polyethylene glycol 400, polyethylene glycol 600, polyethylene glycol 800, and polyethylene glycol 1000. The CAS number is 25322-68-3.
PEG200 possesses an average molecular weight of approximately 180–220, classifying it as a low molecular weight polyethylene glycol. At ambient temperatures, it exists as a colourless, transparent liquid. Exhibiting excellent solubility and lubricity with strong fluidity, it is commonly employed as a solvent, dispersant, humectant, and chemical intermediate. Owing to its low molecular weight, PEG200 demonstrates superior permeability, making it frequently utilised in pharmaceutical and pesticide formulations, as well as cosmetic recipes requiring low viscosity.
PEG300 possesses an average molecular weight ranging from 270 to 330, remaining a transparent liquid yet exhibiting slightly higher viscosity than PEG200. It combines the fluidity of low molecular weight compounds with moderate lubricating and solubilising properties. Common applications include pharmaceutical topical formulations (such as ointments and suppositories), personal care products, and as an alternative to organic solvents. PEG300 may also serve as an additive in certain water-based coatings or inks to enhance system stability.
PEG400 possesses an average molecular weight of 360–440, remaining a colourless, transparent liquid at room temperature whilst exhibiting increased viscosity. Being non-toxic, non-irritating, and soluble in water and various organic solvents, it finds extensive application in pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs, and cosmetics. For instance, it serves as a drug carrier, a moisturising agent in cosmetics, and a solvent in oral or topical formulations. PEG400 is also commonly employed as a lubricating and dispersing component in lubricants and textile auxiliaries.
PEG600 possesses a molecular weight of approximately 540–660, presenting as a colourless to pale yellow paste or high-viscosity liquid at room temperature. Compared to lower molecular weight PEGs, it exhibits reduced flowability but superior moisturising and binding properties. PEG600 is frequently employed in the pharmaceutical industry (particularly as a suppository base), cosmetic creams, and as a plasticiser in rubber and plastics. Its moderate molecular weight provides good compatibility without excessive insolubility.
PEG800 possesses an average molecular weight of approximately 720–880, presenting as a semi-solid or waxy substance soluble in water and ethanol. Its primary characteristic is strong hydrophilicity, enabling its use in pharmaceuticals as a carrier or sustained-release material, whilst serving as a thickener and moisturiser in cosmetics and personal care products. PEG800's lubricating and film-forming properties are also frequently utilised in preparing certain coatings or as disintegrants and lubricants in tablets.
PEG1000 possesses an average molecular weight of 900–1100, appearing as a white, waxy solid at room temperature that readily dissolves in water. A higher molecular weight implies greater viscosity and reduced flowability, yet it offers superior film-forming properties, stability, and moisturising capabilities. It is frequently employed in sustained-release pharmaceutical formulations, ointment bases, oral care products, and cosmetics, and may also serve as a hydrophilic component for surfactants. Industrially, PEG1000 is commonly used in paper manufacturing, rubber processing, and metalworking as an additive, providing effective lubrication and anti-static properties.
