Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) 400 Food Grade (FCC), Kosher, Halal

Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) 400 Food Grade (FCC), Kosher, Halal

Polyethylene Glycol , (C 2n H 4n+2 O n+1 ), is synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of ethylene oxide. This synthesis process gives PEG a range of molecular weights and distributions from 300 grams per mole to 10,000,000 grams per mole.

PEG 400 has a molecular weight of 400 and is a clear, colorless, viscous liquid. Polyethylene Glycol is colorless, inert, odorless, and non-volatile. PEG is biocompatible (it won’t damage tissues or cells), hydrophilic, dissolves readily in water without changing the color odor or taste, and is nontoxic. Due to the high purity of Polyethylene Glycol 400, it is certified by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) grade and the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) grade.

Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) 400 Food Grade (FCC), Kosher, Halal is a low molecular weight grade of polyethylene glycol, CAS 25322-68-3. PEG is made by ring opening polymerization of ethylene oxide, and the 400 in the name refers to a molecular weight of 400. It’s a clear, colorless, viscous liquid that’s odorless, inert, non volatile and hydrophilic, so it dissolves readily in water without changing the color, odor or taste. This listing is Food Grade (FCC) and carries Kosher and Halal certification, with GRAS and GMO Free badges on the page. In the Product Manuals section you’ll find the Safety Data Sheet, Technical Data Sheet, Kosher and Halal certificates, GRAS document, Food Grade Statement and Certificates of Analysis.

You’ll find PEG 400 in personal care products that need to stay viscous, in food as an additive that helps preserve moisture, in formulations where hydrophobic drugs need to dissolve, and in viscous lubricants. The trouble is that none of that works if the grade is wrong or the paperwork is missing. That’s where we come in. Sizes run from 500 mL up to 55 gallons, and shipping is fast. Pick your size, set up Autoship for repeat orders, or request a quote for bulk volumes. Either way, it’s on budget, on time, every time.

Q: What is Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) 400 Food Grade (FCC) used for? A: It’s used in personal care products that need to stay viscous, as a food additive that helps preserve moisture, to dissolve hydrophobic drugs, and to make viscous lubricants.

Q: What does Food Grade (FCC) mean, and is it suitable for food use? A: FCC stands for Food Chemicals Codex. This listing is sold as Food Grade (FCC), and the Product Manuals include a Food Grade Statement and a GRAS document, so review them against your own application. Our Chemical Grades guide explains how grades differ.

Q: What sizes are available, and does it ship as hazmat? A: You can choose 500 mL, 1 L, 1 gallon, 4 L, 5 gallon, 20 L or 55 gallon sizes. Cases come as 6 x 500 mL, 4 x 1 L, 4 x 1 gallon and 4 x 4 L.

Q: How do I get the SDS and Certificate of Analysis? A: Both are on this page. The Safety Data Sheet is in the Product Manuals tab, and the Certificates of Analysis sit in the tab beside it, listed by lot number.

Q: How should it be stored? A: Our guide on how to store polyethylene glycol covers the basics, and the Safety Data Sheet has the product specific details.

Q: Is this PEG 400 Kosher and Halal certified? A: Yes. Kosher and Halal are in the product title and shown as badges, and both a Kosher Certification and a Halal Certification are listed in the Product Manuals.

Q: How is PEG 400 different from other types of polyethylene glycol? A: PEG comes in molecular weights from 300 up to 10,000,000 grams per mole, and PEG 400 sits at the low end with a molecular weight of 400. Our Types of Polyethylene Glycol post compares them.
