Electroplating

Polyethylene glycols are an extremely versatile family of products. Depending on their molecular weight, they can be liquids and pastes that fulfill a wide variety of functions, such as solubilizers, consistency regulators, impregnating agents, softeners, binders, humectants, lubricants, dispersants or mold release agents.. 

 Available products:

  • Polyethylene glycol MW = 400h g/mol 

These products are marketed under the brands: Pluracol and Polypol.

Solid polyethylene glycols, found in flakes, are products used as excipients in the pharmaceutical industry due to their consistency and their properties as solubilizers, impregnating agents, softeners, binders, humectants, lubricants, dispersants and mold release agents.. 

Available products:

  • Polyethylene glycol MW = 8000 g/mol 

These products are marketed under the brands: Pluracol P and Polypol P.

They are alkoxylated fatty alcohols. They exhibit good wetting, dispersing, and emulsifying properties, can be used as surfactants for liquid detergents, and are environmentally friendly..

Available products:
