Application areas

Application areas	Application Notes
Food and beverage industry	As a multifunctional additive, polyethylene glycol 200 is often used as an emulsifier, thickener, anti-crystallization agent, stabilizer, and humectant.In food: It can increase product viscosity and stability, and improve taste and texture. When applied to baked goods, it can prevent ice crystal formation and extend shelf life; in sauces and condiments, it can provide a smooth texture and inhibit microbial growth.In beverages: It is mainly used as an antifoaming agent to effectively control foam in the production process of beer and soft drinks, and ensure stable product quality.
manufacturing	As a cooling and antifreeze component: it can effectively lower the freezing point of liquids and prevent the system from freezing. It is commonly used in the cooling systems of automobiles, industrial equipment and air conditioning.As a processing aid: In industries such as lubricants, coatings, paints, pulp and textiles, it can be used as an auxiliary agent, diluent or surface treatment agent to improve the processing performance and final effect of products.
Pharmaceutical manufacturing	Polyethylene glycol 200 can be used as a solvent.
Daily chemical industry	Primarily used as a wetting agent and consistency regulator, it is commonly found in creams, lotions, toothpaste, and cleaning product formulations; it can also be used in leave-in hair care products to give hair smoothness and shine.

Stability and storage conditions

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is hygroscopic and should be stored in tightly closed containers, such as glass, plastic, aluminum, and stainless steel containers, in a cool, dry place, avoiding direct sunlight. PEG is a flammable liquid; therefore, fire safety regulations must be followed during storage and handling. Keep away from open flames, heat sources, and oxidizers.
