Application

PEG has a variety of biomedical applications, applications in energy storage and drug delivery.

General description

Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) is an oligomer of ethylene oxide that is majorly used as a synthetic polymer for its unique properties which include low cost, biocompatibility, and hydrophilicity. It can be used in the production of biomedical hydrogels.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is an eco-friendly, biodegradable polymer widely used in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Its non-toxic nature and versatility make it a sustainable choice, derived from renewable resources, contributing to greener product formulations. Click here for more information.
