Consisting of a broad portfolio of polyethylene glycols (PEGs), BASF's portfolio of ethoxylated polymer-solubilizers is known for its versatility across a myriad of dosage forms

Polyethylene glycols (PEGs) are ethoxylated polymer-solubilizers that are readily soluble in water, ethanol, acetone, glycols and chloroform. Applicable for oral and topical formulations, these excipients can also be used as chemical intermediates in drug formulations. Our high and low molecular weight PEGs are available as liquids, semi-solids, and solids to suit your individual formulation needs.
