chemical Name
POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL 4600 / PEG 4600 / PEG-100
PEG 4600 (Polyethylene Glycol 4600 / PEG-100) is a high molecular weight polymer derived from ethylene oxide, known for its excellent lubricating, emulsifying, and stabilizing properties.
It appears as a white, waxy solid or granule and is non-toxic, odorless, and water-soluble, meeting pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic-grade standards.
Due to its low hygroscopicity and thermal stability, PEG 4600 enhances the texture, consistency, and durability of various formulations — from tablet coatings and ointments to creams and conditioners.
In Thailand, PEG 4600 is highly valued for its performance in heat and humidity, ensuring formulation stability and product longevity in tropical climates.
Problem Solved: Many formulations face instability, uneven texture, and reduced shelf life under humid tropical conditions — common in Thailand’s manufacturing environments.
Product Solution: PEG 4600 acts as a stabilizer, lubricant, and binder, offering improved texture, stability, and consistency in both solid and semi-solid formulations.
Key Benefits:
- Excellent Lubrication: Reduces friction in tablet manufacturing and capsule filling.
- Emulsion Stabilizer: Enhances consistency in creams and lotions.
- Controlled Release Carrier: Suitable for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.
- Moisture Retention: Improves product texture without tackiness.
- Thermal & Oxidative Stability: Maintains product quality under heat exposure.
- Food Safe & Non-toxic: GRAS listed and widely approved for food and pharma.
- Compatible with Surfactants: Blends easily with fatty alcohols, esters, and waxes.
