PEG-6000 (Polyethylene Glycol 6000) Product Information

 

The company is a manufacture of PEG-6000 supplier,  which is use variaty industrial. 


Physical and chemical parameters

Chemical name: Polyethylene glycol, molecular weight 5500-7000, non-ionic polymer polyether

1. Appearance: White particles/flakes solid at room temperature, melting point 58-63 ℃

2. Solubility: soluble in hot water and water, soluble in some alcohols, insoluble in oils, fats, and hydrocarbons

3. pH (5% aqueous solution): 5.0-7.0, chemically stable, acid and alkali resistant, hard water resistant

4. Characteristics: High viscosity, high dispersion, lubrication, film-forming, moisturizing, and good compatibility with most surfactants and resins

 

Five core roles 

1. Dispersant: Disperse pigments, fillers, and dye particles to prevent agglomeration and precipitation

2. Lubricant: Internal and external lubrication, reducing friction, smooth demolding

3. Moisturizing and hydrating: Lock in moisture and inhibit its evaporation

4. Solubilization and solubilization: Difficult to dissolve organic compounds are solubilized in water

5. Anti static+film-forming: The film is anti-static and forms a hydrophilic protective film on the surface
