Frequently asked questions
What is polyethylene glycol 600 (PEG 600) commonly used for?
PEG 600 is widely used as a solvent, humectant, and ointment base in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food applications, as well as in industrial processes like lubricants and plasticizers.
What is the chemical formula and molecular weight of PEG 600?
The chemical formula is (C₂H₄O)ₙ, where *n* averages ~13–14 units, giving an approximate molecular weight range of 570–630 g/mol (polymeric distribution).
How should PEG 600 be stored?
Store in a tightly sealed container at ambient temperature, away from moisture and strong oxidizing agents, in a cool, dry place.
What specification does Molekula's PEG 600 meet?
Molekula's PEG 600 is supplied as a colourless oily liquid with a colour (Pt-Co) of 0 to 30, pH of 4.5 to 7.0, moisture of 0.5% or less, and a hydroxyl value of 178 to 197 mgKOH/g. Contact us if your application requires a specific grade or compendial compliance.
Can Molekula supply PEG 600 in bulk quantities?
Yes, we offer bulk packaging options (e.g., 25 kg drums, 200 kg totes, or IBCs) for industrial and large-scale applications—contact us for custom quotes.
What documentation is provided with a PEG 600 order?
Each order includes a Certificate of Analysis (CoA), Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), and batch-specific documentation (e.g., USP/EP compliance if applicable).
