Description

Poly(ethylene glycol) NF, FCC

Poly(ethylene glycol) NF, FCC is a pharmaceutical- and food-grade, high-purity, nonionic polymer widely used across pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, and personal care formulations. Its dual compliance with National Formulary (NF) and Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) standards allows for safe, versatile application in both regulated drug development and food or dietary supplement production.

• It is NF- and FCC-compliant, high-purity poly(ethylene glycol)
• Its broad molecular weight range supports multiple formulation types
• It functions as solvent, plasticizer, stabilizer, emulsifier, and processing aid
• It is fully biocompatible, water-soluble, nonionic, and highly safe across oral, topical, and parenteral applications

Poly(ethylene glycol) NF, FCC consists of ethylene oxide repeating units, yielding a neutral, highly water-soluble polymer available in a wide range of molecular weights. Lower molecular weight PEGs (e.g., PEG 300, PEG 400) are commonly used as solvents, carriers, and excipients for liquid formulations, softgels, and oral solutions. Higher molecular weight PEGs (e.g., PEG 3350, PEG 8000) function as stabilizers, osmotic laxatives, thickening agents, tablet binders, and film coatings.

In pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications, Poly(ethylene glycol) NF, FCC is used as:

• A solvent and carrier for poorly soluble active ingredients
• A plasticizer for film coatings and capsule shells
• A stabilizer for oral liquids, creams, and ointments
• An osmotic laxative and bulking agent in GI health products
• A binder and granulation aid for tablet compression

In food and dietary supplements, PEG NF, FCC functions as an emulsifier, humectant, carrier, processing aid, and texturizer across a wide range of applications while maintaining safety and compliance with food-grade standards.

Formulators and procurement professionals seeking to purchase Poly(ethylene glycol) NF, FCC benefit from CarboMer’s consistent manufacturing control, validated processes, and dual pharmacopeial compliance to meet pharmaceutical and food industry regulatory requirements.

Material is supplied in tamper-evident, moisture-controlled packaging to ensure stability during storage and distribution. Minimum order quantities (MOQ), lead times, and full technical data packages are available for global development, manufacturing, and regulatory submissions.

Each lot undergoes validated testing for molecular weight distribution, hydroxyl value, residual ethylene oxide and dioxane, heavy metals and microbial limits to comply with both USP/NF and FCC monographs.

As with all CarboMer excipients, Poly(ethylene glycol) NF, FCC is fully supported by technical consultation, formulation development assistance, and regulatory expertise to help clients advance products through development, scale-up, and global regulatory registration.
