Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy Polyethylene Glycol 200 (PEG 200) in Hyderabad?
Surravi Phharma supplies PEG 200 in Hyderabad with ready stock in 230 kg HDPE drums. It is widely used as a solvent, plasticiser, and humectant in pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations. Call +91 8008002576 for pricing and COA.
What is the difference between PEG 200 and higher molecular weight PEGs?
PEG 200 is a liquid grade at room temperature due to its low average molecular weight, while PEGs above approximately 1000 (such as PEG 1500, 3350, 4000, and 6000) are waxy solids. Lower molecular weight PEGs like PEG 200 are preferred as solvents and co-solvents, while higher molecular weight grades are used as solid bases in suppositories, ointments, and tablet coatings.
Is PEG 200 suitable as a solvent for poorly water-soluble APIs?
Yes. PEG 200 is an effective co-solvent for lipophilic and poorly water-soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients in oral liquid and topical formulations. It is miscible with water and many organic solvents, making it useful for improving API solubility without the volatility concerns of lower molecular weight glycols.
What packaging is PEG 200 supplied in?
PEG 200 is supplied in 230 kg HDPE drums as standard, in line with industry packaging for liquid polyethylene glycols. COA and MSDS are provided with every shipment. Call +91 8008002576 for smaller quantities or custom packaging requirements.
