CAS # 025322-68-3 INCI / CTFA nomenclature—PEG-8 The Dow Chemical Company is a science and technology-based company and one of the world’s largest producers of polyalkylene glycols. Our worldwide research, manufacturing, and distribution includes facilities in Europe, North America, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific. Sustainability Attribute: With over 50 years experience in polyglycol manufacturing, the industry’s broadest product line, and a leadership position in new product development, Dow is uniquely positioned to meet the needs of a diverse global marketplace. This success results from expanding our customers’ markets through combined customer formulation knowledge and Dow alkoxylation expertise in joint development applications. Together we focus these resources to help ensure success for our customers and their products. CARBOWAX™ PEG 400E Polyethylene Glycol is the product of the catalysed reaction between ethylene oxide and water. The polymerisation reaction is controlled so that the average molecular weight is in the range 380–420. CARBOWAX™ PEG 400E Polyethylene Glycol, at room temperature, is a clear, hygroscopic liquid, which possesses a characteristic low vapour pressure and excellent lubricity. It is totally soluble in water and in most organic solvents except aliphatic hydrocarbons. At high temperatures and in the presence of air CARBOWAX™ PEG 400E Polyethylene Glycol will undergo decomposition. However, improved stability can be gained by the use of antioxidants. As CARBOWAX™ PEG 400E Polyethylene Glycol contains two terminal hydroxyl groups it can be used in polyurethane and esterification reactions. Applications CARBOWAX™ PEG 400E Polyethylene Glycol can be used in many applications including printing inks, ceramic and glass production, the treatment of paper, lubricant base, fatty acid ester manufacture, textile conditioner, as a formulation aid in the detergent industry and in the production of polyurethane prepolymers.
