CARBOWAX SENTRY PEGs are available in molecular weights from 300 to 8000 . Liquid grades are available in pack size of 233.33 kgs nett per drum and Higher molecular solid grades are available in pack size of 22.68 kgs nett per bag.

They have unique medicament solvent properties, low toxicity, blandness and good water solubility. Polyethylene glycols make excellent water-soluble ointment bases; they spread easily and evenly over the skin even if the skin is moist. Their good water solubility makes it easy to incorporate aqueous ingredients in the formulation, and they do not become rancid or support microbial growth. CARBOWAX SENTRY PEGs provide multiple benefits in the tableting process. They can act as binders and provide internal and external lubrication. They also function as plasticizers for tablet coatings. CARBOWAX SENTRY PEGs 300 to 1450 are used as plasticizers and carriers in the production and filling of gelatin capsules. Other pharmaceutical applications include spray-on medications, suppositories, sustained release devices and liquid oral-dose medications.
