PRODUCTION OF PEG 1500:
Proethylene glycol was first isolated in 1859. 
It is produced industrially by the interaction of ethylene oxide with water, ethylene glycol or oligomers of ethylene glycol.
The length of the polymer to be formed is determined by the amount of reactants.

GENERAL FEATURES OF PEG 1500:
Polyethylene Glycol or PEG as its abbreviation is frequently used is an organic compound that is widely used in many different sectors. 
In fact, it is the name given to the opening of ethylene oxide and the formation of a polymer or oligomer side by side. 

That is why it is also called polyethylene oxide. 
PEG is soluble in water, methanol, ethanol, acetonitrile, benzene and dichloromethane. 

It is a hydrophilic molecule.
PEG is generally named according to the molecular weight of the polymer. 

For example, when we say PEG 400, this indicates that it is a polymer with a molecular weight between 380 and 420. 
PEG can have a molecular weight of 200 to 10,000,000 grams.
