PEG-90 is polyethylene glycol, a polymer of ethylene glycol. For a solvent to be considered as useful in any product, it has to have some characteristics.
PEG-90 has all the characteristics suitable for the ideal solvent.
PEG-90 is a very mild, water-soluble, non-ionic polymer compatible with many other ingredients used in cosmetic products.
PEG-90 can attract water molecules and make it available to use for the skin or hair. So, it is used as a binder, emulsifier, and viscosity controller in cosmetic products. Various reactive molecules it contains makes it a good stabilizer for any product.
PEG-90 helps calm any other reactive groups in various ingredients and thus gives stability throughout the shelf life. As an emulsifier, it inhibits the water and oil-based components to get separated from each other. This is particularly useful when the product is undergoing any temperature or humidity changes drastically.
PEG-90 also functions as a binder and keeps all the components of the product to stick and bonded together.
PEG-90 is a very acceptable binder with the least cross-reaction capabilities, so desirable thickness can be achieved. For any product, viscosity is a very critical factor, too viscous or too watery may not only make it look unacceptable but also not customer-friendly.
PEG-90 is used to achieve acceptable viscosity.
PEG-90 is generally used in shampoos, conditioners, creams, lotions, and other skin and hair care products.

PEG-90 is used in electron microscopy.
PEG-90 is used as a solvent, a dye carrier in inks and a dispersant in water based coatings.
PEG-90s derivatives like PEG esters are used as surfactants. In the textile industry, it is used as a lubricant, softener, dye carrier dispersant and an anti-static agent.
PEG-90 finds application in personal care products like skin creams, lotions and bath gels.
About PEG-90
Helpful information
PEG-90 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-90 is used by consumers, in articles, by professional workers (widespread uses), in formulation or re-packing and at industrial sites.
Consumer Uses
PEG-90 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-90 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-90 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-90 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-90 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).

PEG-90 is used in the following areas: health services, printing and recorded media reproduction and scientific research and development.
PEG-90 is used for the manufacture of: food products and rubber products.
Other release to the environment of PEG-90 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-90 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-90 can occur from industrial use: formulation of mixtures and formulation in materials.

Manufacture
ECHA has no public registered data on the routes by which PEG-90 is most likely to be released to the environment.
Uses
PEG-90 is a binder, solvent, plasticizing agent, and softener widely used for cosmetic cream bases and pharmaceutical ointments. Pegs are quite humectant up to a molecular weight of 500. Beyond this weight, their water uptake diminishes.
Uses
PEG-90 is a binder, coating agent, dispersing agent, flavoring adjuvant, and plasticizing agent that is a clear, colorless, viscous, hygroscopic liquid resembling paraffin (white, waxy, or flakes), with a ph of 4.0–7.5 in 1:20 concentration.
PEG-90 is soluble in water (mw 1,000) and many organic solvents.
USES
Used in conjunction with carbon black to form a conductive composite.
Polymer nanospheres of poly(ethylene glycol) were used for drug delivery.
A polymer used to precipitate proteins, viruses, DNA and RNA
H2 histamine receptor antagonist, anti-ulcer agent
nonionic emulsifier
PEG-90 molecules of approximately 1000 monomers.
PEG-90 is used in various applications from industrial chemistry to biological chemistry.
Description
PEG-90s are a family of linear polymers formed by a base-catalyzed condensation reaction with repeating ethylene oxide units being added to ethylene. The molecular formula is (C2H4O)multH2O where mult denotes the average number of oxyethylene groups. The molecular weight can range from 200 to several million corresponding to the number of oxyethylene groups.
PEG-90 is a polyether compound derived from petroleum with many applications, from industrial manufacturing to medicine. PEG is also known as polyethylene oxide (PEO) or polyoxyethylene (POE), depending on its molecular weight. The structure of PEG is commonly expressed as H−(O−CH2−CH2)n−OH.
