PEG 4000/ PEG-90

POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL 4000 / PEG 4000 / PEG-90

PEG 4000 is a high-molecular-weight polymer used as a tablet binder, film former, and viscosity modifier. It offers high melting stability and low volatility — making it a key ingredient in solid dosage forms and controlled-release formulations.

Problem Solved: Manufacturers require a solid excipient with high consistency, easy processability, and stability for controlled-release or topical applications.


Product Solution: PEG 4000 provides excellent film-forming, solidifying, and moisture control properties, making it ideal for tablets, capsules, and creams. It also enhances product smoothness and appearance.


Key Benefits:

  • Provides controlled release and uniform mixing in tablets and capsules
  • Improves tablet hardness and binding efficiency
  • Excellent water solubility and chemical stability
  • Compatible with many APIs and excipients
  • Meets Pharma-grade USP/EP standards


Examples of Industries:

Pharmaceuticals — tablet coating, suppository base, ointments
Personal Care — solid cleansers, creams, deodorants
Oral Care — toothpaste and gels for smooth texture
