Applications:
Polyethylene Glycol – 1000 is used to enhance the effectiveness of tablet binders and impact plasticity to granules. It can also be used to enhance the aqueous solubility of dissolution characteristics of poorly soluble compounds by making solid dispersion with ana appropriate polyethylene glycol.
It is used for the film coating of tablets or can be useful as hydrophilic polishing materials. In plasticizers in conjunction with film forming polymers.
It can be react with an isocyanate to make polyurathen. Used to make many skin creams and lubricants.
It is used as a binder in the preparation of technical ceramics. It is injected into industrial processes to reduce foaming in separation equipment.
Also supplier of different grades of Polyethylene Glycols as per average molecular grade ranging from 200 to 8000, this wide range of products provides flexibility in choosing properties to meet the requirements of many different applications.
