Poly Ethylene Glycol (PEG) Supplier, Exporter & Global Wholesaler
PAU Chemicals is an India-based global supplier and exporter of Poly Ethylene Glycol from PEG 200 to PEG 6000, in IP, BP, USP and technical grades, for pharmaceutical, cosmetic and industrial buyers.
Poly Ethylene Glycol is supplied as a graded series, and the grade number is the whole story: it is the approximate molecular weight, and it determines whether the product is a mobile liquid, a soft paste or a hard waxy solid.
PAU Chemicals supplies the full working range with hydroxyl value, molecular weight and moisture documented per batch, plus pharmacopoeial grades with ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol limit testing.
PEG grade selection is physical, not chemical. PEG 400 is a mobile liquid, PEG 1500 a soft paste, PEG 4000 and 6000 hard flakes. Choose on the physical form your process needs, then check solubility.

What is PEG, and what is it called locally?
It is Poly Ethylene Glycol, also called macrogol in pharmacopoeial usage. Trade identifies grades by number — PEG 400, PEG 6000 and so on.
What is it used for?
Pharmaceutical tablet coatings, ointment and suppository bases, laxatives, cosmetics and toothpaste, textile lubricants, ceramic binders and coating additives.
What does the grade number mean?
It is the approximate average molecular weight, which determines physical form. PEG 200 to 600 are liquids, 1000 to 1500 pastes, and 4000 to 6000 solid flakes.
Which grade should I choose?
Start from the physical form your process needs — liquid, paste or solid — then check solubility and melting point. The chemistry is consistent across the range.
Is PEG safe in pharmaceuticals?
Pharmacopoeial grades are widely used in oral, topical and suppository products, with ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol limit testing on every batch. Verify this test on the COA before release.
Do you supply pharmacopoeial grade?
Yes, to IP, BP and USP, documented separately from technical grades.
How should it be stored, and what is the shelf life?
Sealed, cool and dry. Liquid grades are hygroscopic and absorb moisture; solid grades block in warm storage. Keep containers closed between uses.
Which ports and Incoterms do you ship on, and how long does delivery take?
Hazira and Nhava Sheva on EXW, FOB, C&F and CIF terms, typically 3 to 4 weeks, shipping as general cargo. Export MOQ is 1 FCL.
