Polyglykol 1000 (PEG 1000 )
Composition: Polyethylene glycol
H(OCH2CH2)nOH n = 22
CAS-No.: 25322-68-3
INCI-description: PEG-20
Product properties*)
Polyglykol 1000 is a white waxy solid at room temperature.
Polyglykol 1000 can be supplied in heated tank trucks or in steel drums. Its two hydroxy end groups as well as its ether groups mainly control the physical and chemical properties of Polyglykol
1000. Therefore Polyglykol 1000 is soluble in water and polar organic solvents like aceton or methanol.
Polyglykol 1000 is insoluble in pure hydrocarbons.
Polyglykol 1000 displays typical chemical reactions of alcohols/diols.
The solidification point of Polyglykol 1000 is about 38 °C.
Storage: When stored in a cold, dry place in a closed container Polyglykol 1000 can be kept for at least two years.
