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.

Safety Precautions

Polyethylene Glycol 200 has a low toxicity profile. Handle with standard industrial hygiene practices. Store in a cool, dry area in original containers away from strong oxidizers. Product is hygroscopic — keep containers tightly sealed.

PPE Requirements: Wear gloves and safety goggles as a precaution during handling. In case of eye contact, rinse with water. PEG 200 is generally non-irritating under normal conditions. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling and storage information.

Shipping: Not regulated as hazardous material for transport.

Benefits

Liquid Form: PEG 200 is a free-flowing liquid at room temperature, unlike higher molecular weight PEGs.
Water Soluble: Completely miscible with water, enabling easy formulation and cleanup.
Versatile Packaging: Available from small containers to bulk totes for any production requirement.
