Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) is a class of linear polyether polymers produced by the stepwise addition polymerization of ethylene oxide with water or ethylene glycol. Its general chemical formula is HO-(CH₂CH₂O)ₙ-H, where n represents the number of ethylene glycol units. PEG is non-irritating, tastes slightly bitter, has good water solubility, and exhibits good compatibility with various organic components.

Primary Applications in the Food Sector

In the food industry, Polyethylene Glycol is primarily used as a food additive, serving multiple functions:

Coating Agent: According to China's GB 2760 standard, PEG can be used for coating candies and chocolate products, with usage amount according to production needs.

Defoamer: PEG is commonly used as a food defoamer.

Humectant & Thickener: PEG can improve the taste and texture of food, extend the shelf life of food, and enhance product quality and stability. It acts as a humectant and thickener in foods, improving the texture and shelf life of various food products.

Other Functions: According to FDA regulations, PEG can be used in food as a flavoring agent or adjuvant, formulation aid, lubricant or release agent, and surfactant.

Primary Applications in the Industrial Sector

I. Lubricant
PEG is used as a lubricant in industry, capable of reducing the friction coefficient of materials, improving their processing performance, and enhancing the surface smoothness and quality of products.

II. Dispersant & Surfactant
PEG can be used as a dispersant and surfactant, playing an important role in products such as coatings, inks, and cleaners.

Primary Applications in Cosmetics & Personal Care
