Introduction of Polyethylene Glycol

Polyethylene glycol, abbreviated as "PEG" with the chemical formula C2H6O2, is a macromolecular compound formed by the intermolecular dehydration condensation of ethylene glycol.

Its properties vary depending upon the relative molecular mass, ranging from a colorless and odor-free thick fluid to a waxy strong. It is soluble in water and many natural solvents, quickly soluble in aromatic hydrocarbons, and slightly soluble in aliphatic hydrocarbons.

At room temperature, polyethylene glycol is liquid when its molecular weight is between 200 and 600, and it gradually becomes semi-solid when its molecular weight exceeds 600.

The number after the polyethylene glycol indicates the average molecular weight. For example, polyethylene glycol-400 means the average molecular weight of the product is about 400.

Polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400) is a low-molecular-weight quality of polyethylene glycol like the usual polyethylene glycol. It is a clear, colorless, thick fluid. PEG 400 is extensively used in different pharmaceutical formulas due partially to its low toxicity.

Application of Polyethylene Glycol in Various Fields

Use as chemical and analytical reagents.

One of the main roles of polyethylene glycol is as a solvent or surfactant, helping to mix chemically different components evenly.

They are used as plasticizers, softeners, wetting agents, lubricants, solvents, and binders, as well as in the formulation of fragrances and as pharmaceutical preparations.

Used in pharmaceuticals

Polyethylene glycol is a polymer of hydrolysis item of ethylene oxide, which is safe, non-irritating, and widely utilized in numerous pharmaceutical preparations, for instance.

Used as the liquid for contact lenses. The viscosity of its aqueous solution is sensitive to shear rate, and bacteria do not grow easily on polyethylene glycol.

Used in synthetic lubricants. Condensation polymer of ethylene oxide and water. For the preparation of ointment base for water-soluble drugs, also as a solubilizer for water-insoluble drugs such as acetylsalicylic acid and caffeine for the preparation of injection solutions.

Carrier for slow drug release and immobilized enzymes. Applying polyethylene glycol aqueous solution to the outer layer of pills can control the diffusion of drugs in the pills to improve the efficacy.

Used in daily chemical products

Also, polyethylene glycol interacts strongly with water, so adding this product to these products helps keep them moist.

In addition, some daily chemical products require a certain viscosity. Since low molecular weight polyethylene glycols are viscous liquids, they can significantly increase the viscosity of these cosmetic products.

This product increases skin suppleness in topical lotions and has a moisturizing effect similar to glycerin.

Taken together, the toxicity of the diols is quite low. Topical application of polyethylene glycol, especially for mucosal administration, can cause irritation and pain.

Use as a pro-fusion agent.

An excellent chemical pro-fusion agent used in protoplast fusion. In 50% PEG, free water disappears, leading to cell dehydration and causing structural changes in the plasma membrane and cell fusion.

The advantages of PEG for use in cell fusion are.

① Highly versatile and can be used in various animals, plants, and microorganisms.

②Easy to prepare and control than the Sendai virus etc.

③Stable activity and easy to use.

Chemical Properties

Under normal conditions, polyethylene glycol is stable but can interact with oxygen in the air at 120℃ or higher.

In an inert ambiance (such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide), it does not transform even when heated to 200-240 ° C. When the temperature level climbs to 300 ° C, it undergoes thermal breaking.

It does not hydrolyze for a long time, is secure to heat, and does not react with several chemical reagents.

Adding antioxidants, such as phenothiazine with a mass fraction of 0.25% to 0.5%, can enhance its chemical stability. Any of its disintegration products are unpredictable and do not create crusty or slimy precipitates.

Particular steel salts are soluble in polyethylene glycol at concerning 100 ° C as well as continue to be secure at room temperature. These steel salts consist of calcium, cobalt, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, tin and zinc chloride, potassium iodide, and ethylmercury.
