Polyethylene glycol 8000 (PEG-8000) is a high molecular weight polyethylene glycol, appearing as a white or off-white solid. It is highly water-soluble and chemically stable. Its high molecular weight gives it excellent lubricity, film-forming properties, and thickening effects. It is commonly used in the pharmaceutical field as an excipient and sustained-release carrier, and in the daily chemical and industrial sectors as a dispersant, lubricant, and functional additive.
