Polyethylene glycol 200 is a clear, slightly viscous liquid, a polymer of ethylene glycol with an average molecular weight of 200 g/mol. It is a compound with a wide range of applications. It has wetting, dissolving, dispersing and stabilizing properties.

In metalworking, polyethylene glycol 200 is used as a solvent in welding fluxes. Polyethylene glycol 200 can be used both in the production of the fluxes themselves, as a base for dissolving/solubilizing components, and in the cleaning of welding fluxes after welding.

In cosmetics, Polyethylene Glycol 200 is used as a non-toxic humectant (often in combination with glycerin to obtain a synergistic effect), as a solvent in a variety of creams and lotions, since it acts as a non-ionic surfactant. It can also be used as a base for lotions, transparent creams, or massage products such as lotions, creams, or massage products. Bath gels or bath bombs, because of its lubricating/slip-enhancing properties. In the manufacture of soaps or detergents, it is used as a viscosity modifier/thickener, which helps to thicken products without the use of surfactants. In the manufacture of toothpastes, PEG200 is used as a stabilizer to help keep the water evenly distributed and the xanthan gum evenly distributed throughout the toothpaste volume. Main INCI Functions:

• Moisture-retaining agent: maintains the water content of the cosmetic product both in the packaging and on the skin.
• Solvent: dissolves other substances

In plastics manufacturing, PEG200 is used as a lubricant in moulds to facilitate the removal of moulded parts and as a lubricant for external surfaces.

In the lubrication industry, it is used as an additive in synthetic greases, cutting oils and hydraulic fluids, as a lubrication enhancer/enhancer/additive.

In rubber production as a mould lubricant to facilitate the removal of products from moulds in both synthetic and natural rubber production

In the textile industry, polyethylene glycol 200 as a fabric softener, a dye carrier, a dirt breaker (dispersant) and as an anti-static agent. It can also be used in carpet cleaning/refreshing agents.

In horticulture/ floriculture it is used as a humectant/active ingredient carrier. When used in combination with water, it prevents plants from drying out quickly, allowing cut flowers to last longer and growing plants to survive dry periods more easily.

In woodworking, PEG200 is used as a preservative or stabilizer. In the case of old wood, PEG200 helps to preserve the original color and shape of the wood, especially when working with wood that has been under water or in wet environments. In the case of green (fresh) wood, the polymer prevents the wood from drying out too quickly, thus preserving the original shape of the workpiece and avoiding the possibility of the wood becoming warped or cracked.

In the food industry, PEG200 can be used as food additive E1521. It is commonly found as an additive in chewing gums, sweets and confectionery. It is found in small quantities as it is used as a carrier for pigments and as a component of moisturizers rather than as a main component.
