Polyethylene Glycol 20000 (PEG 20000), also known as Macrogol 20000, is a high molecular weight polymer with specialized applications in cosmetics, food, and pharmaceuticals. Here’s an overview of its uses:

Use in Cosmetics

PEG 20000 is less common in cosmetics compared to lower molecular weight PEGs, but it still has some applications:

  • Thickening Agent: Enhances the viscosity and texture of formulations, such as creams, lotions, and gels.
  • Film-Forming Agent: Provides a protective film on the skin, which can improve the product's performance and longevity.
  • Stabilizer: Maintains the consistency and stability of formulations, preventing separation or settling of ingredients.

Use in Food

PEG 20000 is not typically used in food products. Lower molecular weight PEGs are more commonly employed in the food industry for functions like antifoaming, glazing, and thickening.

Use in Pharmaceuticals

PEG 20000 is primarily utilized in pharmaceuticals for the following purposes:

  • Laxative: Used in formulations to treat constipation by increasing the water content in the stool, making it easier to pass. Its high molecular weight provides a slower release and extended action.
  • Excipient: Acts as a carrier or medium for active pharmaceutical ingredients, aiding in their delivery and absorption.
  • Binder: Helps in the formation of tablets by binding ingredients together, ensuring uniformity and stability.
  • Solubilizer: Improves the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs, enhancing their bioavailability.
  • Base for Ointments and Creams: Provides a stable and consistent base for topical formulations, ensuring proper texture and application.

 

Usage: Can be used as a solvent or as a carrier in all types of cosmetics.

Mixing method: Mix with the substance to be dissolved.

Usage rate: Depends on usage

Product characteristics: White powder

Solubility: Can dissolve in water, ethanol, glycols (such as propylene glycol, butylene glycol).

Storage: Can be stored at room temperature But close the bottle cap tightly. Then completely protected from sunlight or heat. The product has a minimum shelf life of 2 years.
