1.Propriété du produit

 

PEG-60 is a clear, colourless to pale-yellow viscous liquid at 25 °C. It is freely soluble in water and most polar organic solvents, providing excellent solubilising capacity for lipophilic actives. The product is non-ionic, odourless, and exceptionally stable across a wide pH range (3–11). Compared with PEG-40 CO grades, it gives clearer solutions and superior solubilisation at lower concentrations.
