PEG-180 is a product belonging to the group of polyoxyethylene glycols (PEG with an average molecular weight of 180).
PEG-180 is available in the form of white to light yellow wax.
The solidification point of PEG-180 is approximately 55 °C.
PEG-180 is freely soluble in water and in low aliphatic alcohols.
PEG-180 is safe, non-toxic and does not cause skin irritation.
PEG-180 can be used as a humectant in cosmetic preparations, such as conditioners, serums, shampoos and hair masks, and hair styling preparations.
PEG-180 is a thickening agent for shampoos, body wash liquids or foam baths.
PEG-180 is easy to dose and has the ability to modify the viscosity of the formulation, even at low concentrations.
PEG-180 can also be used as a carrier of active substances and a binder in dishwasher tablets, laundry tablets and bath salts.
In industrial applications PEG-180 is a component of lubricants, mainly water-soluble synthetic liquids for machining and heat transfer fluids.
PEG-180 is used as a release agent in the rubber processing industry (tire production), plastics and elastomers.
PEG-180 is also used as an auxiliary agent during galvanizing coating processes.
PEG-180 is also an auxiliary in the processing of textiles and in paint additives.
PEG-180 acts as a plasticizer and binding agent in the production of ceramics and food packaging based on biopolymers.
PEG-180 has positive opinions from international organizations such as the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), which allows the use of polyethylene glycol in the form of an indirect food additive based on CFR 21: 175.105; 175,210; 176,180; 176,200.
PEG-180 should be noted that PEG-180 may be used in accordance with the definitions provided by the organization, not exceeding the maximum permitted dose.
PEG-180 is not classified according to the CLP/GHS regulation.
Advantages of PEG-180:
Excellent plasticizer and release agent,
Softening, lubricating, moisturizing and thickening properties,
Binding agent, binder in detergents,
Safe, non-toxic substance, does not cause skin irritation,
Unlimited solubility in water,
Product not classified in accordance with the CLP / GHS Regulation,

Uses of PEG-180:
PEG-180 is used to modify therapeutic proteins and peptides thereby by increasing solubility and lower toxicity.
PEG-180 is involved in the fabrication of bioactive and immunoisolating barriers for encapsulation of cells.
PEG-180 is ideally suitable for biological applications since PEG-180 does not trigger an immune response.
Crystallization grade PEG is utilized for formulating screens and optimization.
PEG-180 is used as PVC lubricant, masterbatch additive, textile softener, pigment dispersant, etc.
