Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a polyether compound derived from petroleum with many applications, from industrial manufacturing to medicine. PEG is also known as polyethylene oxide (PEO) or polyoxyethylene (POE), depending on its molecular weight. The structure of PEG is commonly expressed as H (OCH2 CH2) OH.
It is mainly used in making polyester, polyester resin, hygroscopic agent, plasticizer, surfactant, synthetic fiber, cosmetics and explosives, as solvent for dyes/inks, antifreeze for engine, gas dehydrating agent, manufacturing resin, wetting agent for cellophane, fiber, leather and adhesive. It can produce synthetic resin PET, fiber grade PET namely polyester fiber, bottle chip grade PET for making mineral water bottle, etc. Also can produce alkyd resin, glyoxal, etc., also used as antifreeze. In addition to being used as anti-freeze agent for automobile, it is also used for conveying industrial cooling capacity, which is generally called refrigerant carrier.
The major use of ethylene glycol is as an antifreeze agent in the coolant in for example, automobiles and air-conditioning systems that either place the chiller or air handlers outside or must cool below the freezing temperature of water. In the plastic industry, ethylene glycol is an important precursor to polyester fibers and resins. Ethylene glycol is used in the natural gas industry to remove water vapor from natural gas before further processing. Minor uses of ethylene glycol include the manufacture of capacitors, as a chemical intermediate in the manufacture of 1,4-dioxane, as an additive to prevent corrosion in liquid cooling systems for personal computers, and inside the lens devices of cathode-ray tube type of rear projection televisions.

Monoethylene glycol (MEG) is a colorless, odorless, and slightly viscous organic compound widely used in various industries. Primarily known for its role as an essential component in the production of polyester fibers, resins, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastics, MEG serves as a crucial raw material in the manufacture of textiles, packaging materials, and plastic bottles. Additionally, its properties as a coolant and antifreeze make it a common ingredient in automotive and industrial applications, preventing freezing and overheating in engines and mechanical systems. MEG's versatility, solubility, and ability to lower the freezing point of water have established it as a vital compound in diverse sectors, from manufacturing to engineering.
1.Polyethylene glycol series products can be used in pharmaceuticals. Polyethylene glycol with low relative molecular weight can be used as solvent, co-solvent, O/W emulsifier and stabilizer, used to make cement suspensions, emulsions, injections, etc., and also used as water-soluble ointment matrix and suppository matrix, solid waxy polyethylene glycol with high relative molecular weight is often used to increase the viscosity and solidification of low molecular weight liquid PEG, as well as compensate other drugs; For drugs that are not easily soluble in water, this product can be used as a carrier of solid dispersant to achieve the purpose of solid dispersion, PEG4000, PEG6000 is a good coating material, hydrophilic polishing materials, film and capsule materials, plasticizers, lubricants and drop pill matrix, for the preparation of tablets, pills, capsules, microencapsulations, etc.
