Polyethylene glycol 9000 is a polyether compound derived from petroleum with many applications, from industrial manufacturing to medicine. 

Polyethylene glycol 9000 acts as a binder and filler offering internal and external lubrication.  

Polyethylene glycol 9000 is also known as PEG 9000, polyethylene oxide (PEO), or polyoxyethylene (POE), depending on its molecular weight

Polyethylene glycol 9000 

Cas No: 25322-68-3

Polyethylene glycol 9000 is used as a stabilizing agent for fragrance in the fabric care market and as a binder for solid particle delivery.

Polyethylene glycol 9000, also called PEG 9000 or Macrogol in the European pharmaceutical industry, is manufactured by polymerization of ethylene oxide (EO) with either water, mono ethylene glycol or diethylene glycol as starting material, under alkaline catalysis. 

Storage of Polyethylene glycol 9000

When stored in a cold, dry place in a closed container Polyglykol 9000 can be kept for at least two years.
