What is Polyethylene Glycol CAS 25322-68-3?
The relationship between molecular weight and state of matter
Liquids: PEG-200, 400, 600 (Molecular weight 200-600)
Semi-solid/waxy: PEG-800 to 6000 (molecular weight 800-7500)
Solid: PEG-8000 or above (molecular weight > 7500).
Polyethylene Glycol CAS 25322-68-3 Use
Medicine and Cosmetics
Drug carrier: Used as the base of ointment and plasticizer for suppositories (PEG-4000/6000).
Moisturizer: Replace glycerin in skin care products to enhance flexibility (PEG-200-1000).
Industrial field
Lubricant: High-temperature lubrication in metal processing and rubber vulcanization (PEG-1500~6000).
Dispersants/emulsifiers: Pesticides, coatings, textile auxiliaries (molecular weight selected as required).
Others: Papermaking auxiliaries, ceramic molding agents, antistatic agents for food processing, etc.
Polyethylene Glycol CAS 25322-68-3 safety
Health risk
Low toxicity: The oral LD₅₀ of rats is 28,000-33,750 mg/kg, which belongs to the actual non-toxic level.
Irritation: Contact with mucous membranes may cause mild irritation (such as in the eyes and respiratory tract), but skin contact is safe.
Special note: When the concentration of the injection exceeds 40%, hemolysis may occur. Oral administration of large doses can cause diarrhea.
Environment and Operation
Environmental risk: Toxic to aquatic organisms. Avoid release into water bodies.
Protective measures: Wear gloves/goggles during operation and store in a sealed container in a cool and well-ventilated place (≤40℃).
