About PEG-180
Helpful information
PEG-180 is registered under the REACH Regulation and is manufactured in and / or imported to the European Economic Area, at ≥ 100 to < 1 000 tonnes per annum.
PEG-180 is used by consumers, in articles, by professional workers (widespread uses), in formulation or re-packing and at industrial sites.
Consumer Uses
PEG-180 is used in the following products: cosmetics and personal care products, pharmaceuticals, polymers, air care products, finger paints and washing & cleaning products.
Other release to the environment of PEG-180 is likely to occur from: indoor use (e.g. machine wash liquids/detergents, automotive care products, paints and coating or adhesives, fragrances and air fresheners), outdoor use and indoor use in close systems with minimal release (e.g. cooling liquids in refrigerators, oil-based electric heaters).
Article service life
Other release to the environment of PEG-180 is likely to occur from: indoor use in long-life materials with low release rate (e.g. flooring, furniture, toys, construction materials, curtains, foot-wear, leather products, paper and cardboard products, electronic equipment) and outdoor use in long-life materials with low release rate (e.g. metal, wooden and plastic construction and building materials). PEG-180 can be found in complex articles, with no release intended: vehicles and machinery, mechanical appliances and electrical/electronic products (e.g. computers, cameras, lamps, refrigerators, washing machines). PEG-180 can be found in products with material based on: plastic (e.g. food packaging and storage, toys, mobile phones), fabrics, textiles and apparel (e.g. clothing, mattress, curtains or carpets, textile toys) and paper (e.g. tissues, feminine hygiene products, nappies, books, magazines, wallpaper).
Widespread uses by professional workers
PEG-180 is used in the following products: polymers, pharmaceuticals, laboratory chemicals and washing & cleaning products.
PEG-180 is used in the following areas: health services, printing and recorded media reproduction and scientific research and development.
PEG-180 is used for the manufacture of: food products and rubber products.
Other release to the environment of PEG-180 is likely to occur from: indoor use (e.g. machine wash liquids/detergents, automotive care products, paints and coating or adhesives, fragrances and air fresheners), outdoor use and indoor use in close systems with minimal release (e.g. cooling liquids in refrigerators, oil-based electric heaters).
Formulation or re-packing
PEG-180 is used in the following products: inks and toners, polymers, cosmetics and personal care products, textile treatment products and dyes and washing & cleaning products.
Release to the environment of PEG-180 can occur from industrial use: formulation of mixtures and formulation in materials.
Uses at industrial sites
PEG-180 is used in the following products: polymers, washing & cleaning products, lubricants and greases, inks and toners and textile treatment products and dyes.
PEG-180 is used in the following areas: printing and recorded media reproduction.
PEG-180 is used for the manufacture of: rubber products, plastic products, machinery and vehicles and textile, leather or fur.
Release to the environment of PEG-180 can occur from industrial use: as processing aid, in the production of articles, in processing aids at industrial sites and of substances in closed systems with minimal release.
Manufacture
ECHA has no public registered data on the routes by which PEG-180 is most likely to be released to the environment.
PEG-180 is used to modify therapeutic proteins and peptides thereby by increasing solubility and lower toxicity.
PEG-180 is involved in the fabrication of bioactive and immunoisolating barriers for encapsulation of cells.
PEG-180 is ideally suitable for biological applications since it does not trigger an immune response. Crystallization grade PEG is utilized for formulating screens and optimization.
Used as PVC lubricant, masterbatch additive, textile softener, pigment dispersant, etc
