Polyethylene Glycol 400 (PEG-400) is a low-molecular-weight condensation polymer of ethylene oxide and water, represented by the chemical formula H(OCH₂CH₂)nOH, where n values average around 8.2 to 9.1. Renowned for its low toxicity, high water solubility, and exceptional hygroscopic properties, PEG-400 is an essential raw ingredient utilized widely in pharmaceutical formulations, chemical syntheses, cosmetics, and advanced industrial processes. As a reliable manufacturing exporter, we adhere strictly to international standards, providing chemical grades that guarantee stability, purity, and safety across all application vectors.

The versatility of PEG-400 stems from its balanced hydrophobic-lipophilic properties, allowing it to dissolve in many organic solvents such as alcohols, esters, and ketones, while remaining highly soluble in water. In personal care formulations, it acts as a non-volatile moisturizing base, ensuring that skin care lotions, hair creams, and oral hygiene products retain their moisture profiles even under variable environmental conditions. Furthermore, in industrial contexts, PEG-400 serves as a powerful lubricating agent, binder, and non-ionic surfactant intermediate, demonstrating superior thermal stability and compatibility with other chemical agents.
China has solidified its position as a global leader in chemical production, particularly for ethylene oxide derivatives like Polyethylene Glycol. Our factories leverage several unique structural advantages:
Global procurement networks require more than raw chemicals; they demand risk-mitigating supply solutions.

Home Care
Formulated with SLES (Sodium Laureth Sulfate) and AOS (Sodium Alpha-Olefin Sulfonate) as core surfactants for superior soil removal and dense foam structure. Enhanced with viscosity builders like CMEA (Cocamide MEA) for steady hand-feel.
Personal Care
Features Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate (YG02-95) and Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate (LS-100N) to offer deep yet exceptionally mild cleansing action suitable for sensitive or barrier-compromised skin types.
Textile Care
Utilizes high-active cationic surfactants such as Cetrimonium Chloride (1631 70) to neutralize surface charges on fabrics, providing excellent softness and anti-static characteristics.
Body Care
Synergizes amphoteric CAB-35 (Cocamidopropyl Betaine) with non-ionic APG1214 (Lauryl Glucoside) to construct a mild, high-foaming skin cleanser that rinses cleanly without leaving residues.
Industrial
Leverages the synergy of LAS (Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate) and solvent EGDS (Glycol Distearate) to penetrate and disperse heavy machinery grease, hydrocarbons, and aged oil soils.
Tailored manufacturing programs designed to match packaging, fragrance, cost targets, and application scenarios for retail and institutional markets.
Designed and custom-blended for target channels, including luxury hotels, salon brands, and high-volume retail. Available in varying active concentration levels, scent choices, and primary packaging sizes.
Tailorable surfactant systems featuring enzymes, optical brighteners, and long-lasting fragrances. Formulated to meet regional eco-regulations and packaging specifications (including PCR plastic compliance).

We supply cosmetic grade, industrial grade, and medical/pharmaceutical grade Polyethylene Glycol 400 (PEG-400). Our medical grade PEG-400 complies strictly with international pharmacopoeias such as USP, NF, and EP, featuring extremely low concentrations of residual ethylene oxide, diethylene glycol (DEG), and 1,4-dioxane.
While both are highly hydrophilic, PEG-400 provides a less sticky, more velvety finish in skin creams and gels compared to high concentrations of glycerin. Additionally, PEG-400 functions as an excellent solvent and carrier for poorly water-soluble active ingredients, enhancing their bioavailability and absorption in topical applications.
For every shipment, we issue a comprehensive batch Certificate of Analysis (COA), Technical Data Sheet (TDS), Safety Data Sheet (SDS) compliant with GHS regulations, and commercial packing lists. We are also fully prepared to assist with REACH registration documentation for EU importers.
Because PEG-400 is hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air), it must be stored in tightly sealed containers. We recommend keeping it in dry, cool, well-ventilated warehouses away from strong oxidizing agents. Properly stored in original packaging, it retains its chemical properties for up to 24 months from the production date.
We supply PEG-400 in 200 kg net weight plastic or iron drums, 1000 kg IBC tanks, and bulk flexitanks for maximum transport cost efficiency. Custom packaging labels detailing batch number, gross weight, and chemical classification are applied according to purchaser standards.
