Tex Lab Supply Polyethylene Glycol 400 (PEG 400) NF/FCC/EP/USP - Kosher Certified
This particular Polyethylene Glycol is manufactured by the DOW (TM) Chemical Company. It is the Carbowax(TM) Sentry(TM) Polyethylene Glycol 400. We buy this product in drums and totes and repackage in our private lab. DOW (TM) and Carbowax(TM) Sentry(TM) are trademarks owned by the DOW (TM) Chemical Company and Tex Lab Supply is not affiliated with them.
This PEG 400 meets all applicable requirements in the National Formulary (NF) for use in drug applications, Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) requirements for use in certain food applications and personal care products.
It is also used as a Chemical Intermediate with the primary hydroxyl functionality which allows reactions typical of alcohols, such as conversion of a functional alcohol group to esters, ethers, amines and acetals.
This PEG 400 meets the requirements necessary to produce the highest quality fatty acid esters.
Esters based on PEGs provide valuable surface active properties. They are classed as nonionic surfactants and are not affected by acids or hard water, an advantage over anionic or cationic soaps. These characteristics have been found valuable in the textile, agricultural, paper, personal care and cosmetics industries.
