Polyethylene Glycol 4000 (PEG 4000), also known as Macrogol 4000, is a versatile polymer widely used across various industries, including cosmetics, food, and pharmaceuticals.
Use in Cosmetics
PEG 4000 is commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products for the following purposes:
- Humectant: Helps retain moisture in the skin, keeping it hydrated.
- Solvent: Enhances the solubility of other ingredients in the formulation.
- Thickening Agent: Improves the texture and viscosity of products such as creams and lotions.
- Emollient: Provides a smooth, soft feel to the skin.
- Stabilizer: Helps stabilize emulsions, ensuring the consistency and quality of the product over time.
Use in Food
In the food industry, PEG 4000 is used as an additive for various functions:
- Antifoaming Agent: Prevents the formation of foam during food processing.
- Glazing Agent: Provides a shiny appearance to food products like candies and pastries.
- Thickener and Stabilizer: Improves the texture and stability of processed foods.
Use in Pharmaceuticals
PEG 4000 is widely utilized in pharmaceuticals due to its inert and non-toxic nature:
- Laxative: Used in over-the-counter laxatives to treat constipation by increasing the water content in the stool, making it easier to pass.
- Binder: Helps in the formation of tablets by binding the ingredients together.
- Excipient: Serves as a carrier or medium for active drug ingredients, ensuring their proper delivery and absorption.
The product is EP/USP (Pharmaceutical Grade). It's being repacked in GMP-Cosmetics certified facility. If you require EP/USP, please order 25kg package. The original package of 25kg is packed in EP/USP certified facility.
Usage: Can be used as a solvent or as a carrier in all types of cosmetics/food/drug.
Mixing method: Mix with the substance to be dissolved.
Usage rate: Depends on usage
Product characteristics: white powder
Solubility: Soluble in water, ethanol, glycols (such as propylene glycol, butylene glycol).
Storage: Can be stored at room temperature. But close the bottle cap tightly. Then completely protected from sunlight or heat. The product has a minimum shelf life of 2 years.
