Product properties of Polyglykol 3000:
Polyglykol 3000 is a white waxy solid at room temperature. 
Polyglykol 3000 FL can be supplied in heated tank trucks. 

Polyglykol 3000 S is a flaked type, Polyglykol 3000 P a powdered type available in 20 kg  bags or super sacs with up to 500 kg capacity.
Polyglykol 3000's two hydroxy end groups as well as its ether groups mainly control the physical and chemical properties of Polyglykol 3000. 

Therefore Polyglykol 3000 is soluble in water and polar organic solvents like aceton or methanol. 
Polyglykol 3000 is insoluble in pure hydrocarbons. 

Polyglykol 3000 displays typical chemical reactions of alcohols/diols. 
The solidification point, of Polyglykol 3000 is about 54  °C. 

Storage of Polyglykol 3000:
When Polyglykol 3000 stored in a cold, dry place in a closed container.  
Polyglykol 3000 S and 3000 P can be kept for at least  two years.

Polyglykol M 3000 is a linear, mono hydroxy-functional polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether (M-PEG) that is completely water soluble.

Benefits of Polyglykol 3000:
Polyglykol 3000 has a low diol content to limit formation of crosslinking diesters.
Polyglykol 3000 is completely water soluble.

Polyglykol 3000 S is a flaked PEG excipient grade product, produced under IPEC GMP conditions.
The flaked form enables easier handling of the material within production.
Polyglykol 3000 is specified according to the requirements of the main international ICH guidelines and monographs.
