Application

Polyethylene-polypropylene glycol, with an average molecular weight of 8350, is a versatile nonionic copolymer utilized predominantly as an emulsifying and solubilizing agent in pharmaceutical applications. Its unique structure consists of hydrophilic polyoxyethylene segments and hydrophobic polyoxypropylene segments, which lend it exceptional properties. These attributes make it ideal for a variety of uses, from maintaining the clarity of elixirs and syrups to serving as a stabilizing agent in intravenous fat emulsions. Additionally, it is incorporated into ointments, suppository bases, gels, and serves as a binder and coating for tablets. In the realm of drug delivery, polyethylene-polypropylene glycol facilitates the preparation of solid-dispersion systems. Its therapeutic roles are equally significant, being used in eye-drop formulations, contact lens solutions, as a stool lubricant, and as a wetting agent in treating kidney stones and skin wounds. Through its broad application spectrum, polyethylene-polypropylene glycol supports effective drug administration and patient care in various medical settings.
