Versatility Across Industries

PEG-400 supports a vast range of applications, from pharmaceuticals and cosmetics to textiles, paints, and lubricants. Its roles as a solvent, humectant, and lubricant make it a staple in manufacturing processes requiring purity and consistency. The products compatibility underlines its significance in several supply chains and industrial processes.

Impressive Physical and Chemical Stability

Owing to its high boiling and flash points (both above 250C), PEG-400 remains stable in rigorous processing environments. As a clear, colorless liquid, it blends seamlessly with a variety of ingredients, ensuring clarity and homogeneity in the final product. Its long shelf life further boosts utility for bulk storage and procurement.

Convenient Packaging and Supply Solutions

To accommodate diverse volume needs, PEG-400 is available in sizes ranging from carboys to IBC tanks, securely packaged in high-quality HDPE containers. Widespread distribution networks in Indiaembracing exporters, retailers, and tradersensure timely availability and flexible sourcing tailored to specialized requirements.

FAQs of PEG-400:

Q: How should PEG-400 be stored to maintain its quality and shelf life?

A: PEG-400 should be stored in tightly sealed HDPE drums, carboys, or IBC tanks in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid exposure to moisture and direct sunlight to preserve its clarity and prevent degradation over its 24-month shelf life.

Q: What are the main industrial applications of PEG-400?

A: PEG-400 is utilized in pharmaceuticals (as a solvent or excipient), cosmetics (as a humectant), textiles (as a lubricant), paints (as a dispersing agent), leather (for softening), and in lubricants. Its versatility arises from its chemical stability and compatibility with various formulations.

Q: When is PEG-400 recommended over other grades of polyethylene glycol?

A: Choose industrial-grade PEG-400 when high purity (99%), chemical stability, and liquid physical state are essentialparticularly for applications in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, or any process requiring a clear, colorless solvent or lubricant that remains stable under high temperatures.

Q: Where is PEG-400 sourced or supplied in India?

A: PEG-400 is readily available in India through a wide network of distributors, manufacturers, wholesalers, importers, exporters, and retailers, making it accessible for bulk as well as tailored industrial requirements nationwide.

Q: What are the benefits of using PEG-400 in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations?

A: In cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, PEG-400 acts as an effective humectant and solvent, enhancing product consistency and increasing ingredient solubility. Its high purity ensures it is safe for sensitive applications, while its chemical stability ensures product longevity.

Q: How can PEG-400 be used safely in industrial processes?

A: During use, ensure proper handling by wearing recommended protective equipment and working in a well-ventilated area. Since PEG-400 exhibits a high flash point, it is considered safe for most industrial applications, but standard safety practices should always be observed.
