What is Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)?

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a polyether compound and refers to a polymer of ethylene oxide. Depending on the molecular weight of the substance, polyethylene glycol can be known as either polyglycol,  polyoxyethylene (POE) or polyethylene oxide (PEO).

While this substance is insoluble in solvents like diethyl ether or hexane, it is soluble is solvents like benzene, methanol and water.

What is PEG Used For?

PEG has uses in a variety of industries. It is used in the medical field, in industrial applications, in the commercial industry and in laboratory applications. Some examples of its applications include:

  • PEG is often used as the base chemical for laxative medication
  • Manufacture of ceramics as a binding compound
  • If bound with nitrate ester, PEG can be used as a form of rocket fuel
  • Vital ingredient in toothpaste as it works as a dispersant
  • PEG can be used in ink cartridges for jet printers
