MPEG 2000
MPEG 2000 is a chemical based on methoxy PEG-40.
MPEG 2000 provides lubricity and moisturizing properties to the final product in the formulations of Personal Care and Cosmetic products (For example, shaving foams and shaving gels)
MPEG 2000 is an essential raw material in adhesives, chemical intermediates, inks and dye carriers, lubricants, soaps, and detergents.
MPEG 2000 is used in pressure-sensitive and thermoplastic adhesives to increase adhesion strength - while the adhesive is still wet.
MPEG 2000 maintains wet adhesion strength in isocyanate and polyester adhesives.
MPEG 2000 is also an intermediate raw material for producing new-generation superplasticizers (Polycarboxylate ones).
MPEG 2000 Methoxy polyethylene glycol ether with a molecular weight of 2000 g/mole is commonly used as a chemical intermediate in producing alkyd emulsions and HEUR thickeners.

MPEG 2000 Methoxy polyethylene Glycol is a methoxy PEG-40-based plasticizer.
MPEG 2000 is used in pressure-sensitive and thermoplastic adhesives.
Methoxy polyethylene Glycol MPEG 2000 possesses lubricity and humectant properties.
MPEG 2000 maintains wet-tack strength.
MPEG 2000 is a linear, mono hydroxy-functional polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether (M-PEG) entirely water-soluble.
MPEG 2000 is esterified with methacrylic acid to yield the corresponding polyglycol mono methacrylates used to polymerize polycarboxylate superplasticizers.
MPEG 2000 is a type of Methoxy polyethylene glycol with a Molecular Weight of 2000 that provides enhanced solvency, lubricity, hygroscopicity, and slightly more hydrophobic solvent properties.

MPEG 2000 is a chain transfer agent to synthesize amphiphilic block copolymers by metal-free ring-opening oligomerization.
MPEG 2000 is a precursor to prepare retinoic acid-polyethylene glycol nanoassembly as an efficient drug delivery system.
MPEG 2000 is used to prepare diblock copolymer with polylactic acid, which can be applied in tissue engineering and drug delivery.

Product properties*)
MPEG 2000 is a waxy white to slightly yellowish solid at room temperature.
MPEG 2000 is soluble in water and solvents like acetate and methanol.
MPEG 2000 can be considered a high molecular alcohol and, therefore, displays typical chemical reactions of alcohols.
MPEG 2000 is a linear, mono hydroxy-functional polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether (M-PEG) entirely water-soluble.
