Chemical Profile

Product Overview

Polyethylene Glycol 200 (PEG 200) Technical Grade is a low molecular weight polymer designed for industrial formulation and processing. A clear, colorless, and viscous liquid, PEG 200 functions as a versatile solvent, humectant, and lubricant. It is characterized by excellent solubility in water and various organic solvents, low volatility, and high thermal stability. This Technical Grade product is manufactured for industrial and commercial applications where high purity is required for consistent performance.

Alliance Chemical supplies PEG 200 Technical Grade for industrial and laboratory applications. Whether used as a carrier in chemical processing, a plasticizer in ceramics, or a lubricant in textile manufacturing, this product delivers consistent viscosity (50-70 cP at 25°C) and performance.
