|
Food Industry
|
It is used for emulsification, thickening, stabilization, moisturizing, and defoaming . In food , it increases viscosity and texture, and is used to prevent ice crystal formation in baked goods, thicken sauces, and act as a preservative. In beverages , it is used as an defoamer to control foam in beer and soft drink production.
|
|
manufacturing
|
It is used as a coolant and antifreeze to ensure the normal operation of automobiles, industrial equipment and air conditioning systems at low temperatures; it is also used as a processing aid in the fields of lubricants, coatings, and textiles to improve product performance.
|
|
Pharmaceutical manufacturing
|
As a basic excipient in pharmaceutical preparations, it is widely used in the preparation of various drugs and medical supplies.
|
|
Daily chemical industry
|
It is commonly used as a wetting agent and consistency regulator in products such as creams, lotions, toothpaste, shaving creams, and detergents; it is also suitable for leave-in hair care products, giving hair a smooth, shiny texture and a better feel.

Stability and storage conditions
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is hygroscopic and should be stored in tightly closed containers, such as glass, plastic, aluminum, and stainless steel containers, in a cool, dry place, avoiding direct sunlight. PEG is a flammable liquid; therefore, fire safety regulations must be followed during storage and handling. Keep away from open flames, heat sources, and oxidizers.
