Polyethylene Glycol 600 (PEG 600) — Pharma Grade Supplier, Hyderabad
Product Overview
Polyethylene Glycol 600 (PEG 600) is a semi-liquid polyethylene glycol at room temperature, used as a solvent, humectant, and base component in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial formulations. It bridges the properties of the fully liquid low molecular weight PEGs and the waxy solid higher molecular weight grades.

Is PEG 600 a liquid or a solid at room temperature?
PEG 600 is a semi-liquid to soft paste at room temperature, transitioning between the fully liquid lower molecular weight PEGs (200–400) and the waxy solid higher molecular weight grades (1500 and above). Its consistency can vary slightly with ambient temperature.
What role does PEG 600 play in suppository base formulations?
PEG 600 is often blended with higher molecular weight PEGs (such as PEG 1500, 3350, or 4000) to fine-tune the melting point and consistency of polyethylene glycol suppository bases, which are an alternative to traditional cocoa butter bases.
Can PEG 600 be used in cosmetic formulations?
Yes. PEG 600 is used in cosmetic creams, lotions, and hair care formulations as a humectant and solvent, helping to retain moisture and improve the spreadability and texture of the product.
