(Humectant / Solvent / Plasticizer / Pharmaceutical Excipient)
by Muby Chem
Muby Chem operates a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility that produces Polyethylene Glycol 600, renowned for its exceptional purity and efficacy. This compound is particularly valuable in the pharmaceutical industry.
Our advanced technology ensures the production of Polyethylene Glycol 600 with exceptional purity and quality, making it an ideal choice for use in the pharmaceutical industry.
Applications: MOLPOL® PEG600 is used in pharmaceutical formulations as a solvent, co-solvent, humectant and ointment base. It is widely used in tablets, capsules, oral liquids, topical creams, ointments, gels, suppositories and injectable formulations. It enhances the solubility of poorly water-soluble active ingredients, improving drug dissolution and bioavailability. PEG retains moisture in topical creams, ointments and gels while adjusting viscosity and providing a smooth, stable formulation.
