CARBOWAX™ MPEGs for Industrial Applications
CARBOWAX™ Methoxypolyethylene Glycols (MPEGs) are available in three molecular weights. There are two liquid grades and one solid grade. Each CARBOWAX™ MPEG is designated by a number that represents its average molecular weight. As with PEGs, molecular weight has an effect on the physical properties of MPEGs, with solubility, hygroscopicity and vapor pressure all decreasing as molecular weight increases; and melting/freezing range and viscosity increasing with higher molecular weight.
