Overview
PEG-20000 is a premium-quality polyethylene glycol (PEG) material formed via ring-opening polymerization of ethylene oxide to ethylene glycol and water. It offers exceptional versatility and unique properties, allowing it to be used across various industries. Due to its exceptional solubility in water, its performance is not affected by the presence of electrolytes, allowing it to be used in hard water, aqueous saline solutions, acids, and alkalis. This high molecular-weight polymer performs exceptionally as a binder, enzyme, and anti-caking agent for cosmetics and detergents, in addition to as an anti-static agent, paper softener, lubricant, plasticizer, and base agent in various other applications.
