Offered as a viscous, water-white liquid, CARBOWAX™ Polyethylene Glycol 400 is flexible to satisfy all your needs by combining water solubility, nonvolatility, inertness and lubricity into one product.
With its first-class solvent action and ingredient compatibility, CARBOWAX™ Polyethylene Glycol 400 delivers the versatility needed to fit a wide range of household products including silver polish, leather and vinyl care, antifog and glass cleaner. CARBOWAX™ Polyethylene Glycol 400 also serves an excellent laundry aid in both powdered and liquid detergents offering dust suppression and solubility.
CARBOWAX™ Polyethylene Glycols (PEGs), a family of water soluble linear polymers, are among the most versatile chemical ingredients available to formulators and manufacturers. They are available in a wide range of viscosities, weights from 200 to 8000 and melting points for optimal formulation flexibility in applications including ceramics, lubricants, soaps and detergents, and toilet bowl cleaners. By choosing a suitable product grade, you can achieve the desired balance of water solubility, hygroscopicity, vapor pressure, melting or freezing range, and viscosity.
