PEG 400, or Polyethylene Glycol 400, is a clear, viscous, and hygroscopic liquid with the chemical formula H(OCH₂CH₂)nOH, where n represents the number of ethylene glycol repeating units. With an average molecular weight of approximately 400, it falls under the category of low-molecular-weight glycols and offers excellent solubility, lubrication, and stability.

Delivered in secure steel or HDPE drums, PEG 400 is ideal for industrial and pharmaceutical applications that demand consistent purity and controlled handling. Its non-toxic, non-irritating, and biocompatible nature makes it suitable for formulations in both technical and personal care sectors.

Key Features:

Water-Soluble & Hygroscopic: Excellent solubility in water and many organic solvents
Low Volatility & Low Toxicity: Safe for cosmetic, food, and pharmaceutical uses
Stable Viscosity: Maintains performance across a wide range of temperatures
Drum Packaging: Suitable for mid-scale production and efficient storage
