| Catalog Number | POL-TE075 |
| Size | 5g;10g;25g |
| Description | PEG exhibits high water solubility and is resistant to hydrolysis, making it widely used as a water-soluble base for viscosity control. Its solubility in water remains unaffected by electrolyte presence. It dissolves not only in hard water and saline solutions but also in acids and alkalis (except for extremely high concentrations of acids and alkalis). |
| Application | For hydrogel wound dressings; anti-fouling coatings (PEGylated catheters, artificial joints); tissue engineering scaffolds (UV-curable PEGDA); cosmetic moisturizers, emulsion stabilizers, makeup remover bases; protective agents for gold/silver nanoparticle synthesis. |
| CAS Number | 25322-68-3 |
| Molecular Formula | HO(CHCHO)nH |
| Molecular Weight | 6 kDa, 20 kDa |
| Feature | Polyethylene glycol (PEG) can impart diverse functions based on its molecular weight, such as smoothing, lubrication, thickening and thinning, plasticization, emulsification and dispersion, heat storage, moisturization, adhesion, and antistatic properties. For example, high-molecular-weight PEG serves as a water-soluble adhesive, low-molecular-weight PEG functions as a plasticizer, and PEG is utilized as a dispersant, lubricant, heat carrier, sensitizer, dust suppressant, etc. |
| Storage | -20°C (24 months); 4°C (12 months); Store away from light |
