chemical Name
PEG 8000 (Granular, Food Grade) / Macrogol 8000
PEG 8000 (Polyethylene Glycol 8000, Macrogol 8000) is a high molecular weight polymer used as a binder, thickener, solubilizer, and moisture-retaining agent in pharmaceutical, food, and personal care formulations.
Its granular, food-grade form ensures easy handling, uniform dispersion, and consistent performance, making it a preferred excipient for tablet manufacturing, creams, coatings, and controlled-release systems.
PEG 8000’s non-toxic, odorless, and non-volatile nature makes it especially valued for formulations requiring long-term stability, such as solid and semi-solid dosage forms and cosmetic emulsions.
Problem Solved: Manufacturers face challenges in controlling release rates, preventing separation in emulsions, and ensuring long-term product stability under Thailand’s humid climate.
Product Solution: PEG 8000 offers excellent moisture control, binding capacity, and film-forming properties — delivering reliable performance across solid, semi-solid, and liquid formulations.
Key Benefits:
- Controlled Release Agent: Ideal for extended or sustained drug delivery systems.
- Stabilizer & Binder: Enhances tablet integrity and uniformity.
- Thickener & Film Former: Improves texture in creams, lotions, and coatings.
- Moisture Retention: Prevents drying and cracking of finished products.
- Solubilizer for Actives: Aids dispersion of poorly soluble ingredients.
- Safe & Biocompatible: Non-toxic, odorless, and globally approved.
- Granular Form: Easy to process in large-scale manufacturing.
