In pharmaceuticals, PEG acts as a solubilizer in medications and stabilizes biologics. Cosmetics utilize PEG as an emollient, thickener, and surfactant. Industrially, PEG serves as a lubricant, plasticizer, and dispersant. It also plays a role in polymer processing and preservation, notably in preserving historical artifacts. Pharmaceuticals: Solubiliser: PEG enhances the solubility and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs, allowing for better delivery and efficacy. Manufacturing: PEG is used in oral, topical, and injectable medications, including laxatives like MiraLAX. Stabilizer: High molecular weight PEGs are used to stabilize biologics like insulin. PEGylation: PEGylation, the process of attaching PEG to drugs, improves their solubility and extends their half-life in the body. Laxative: PEG is also us
