Polyethylene glycol (PEG; / ˌ p ɒ l i ˈ ɛ θ əl ˌ iː n ˈ ɡ l aɪ ˌ k ɒ l,-ˈ ɛ θ ɪ l-,-ˌ k ɔː l /) is a polyether compound derived from petroleum with many applications, from industrial manufacturing to medicine. PEG is also known as polyethylene oxide (PEO) or polyoxyethylene (POE), depending on its molecular weight.
Poloxamer 407 is a triblock copolymer consisting of a central hydrophobic block of polypropylene glycol flanked by two hydrophilic blocks of polyethylene glycol (PEG). The approximate lengths of the two PEG blocks is 101 repeat units , while the approximate length of the propylene glycol block is 56 repeat units. [ 1 ]
Triton X-100 (C 14 H 22 O(C 2 H 4 O) n) is a nonionic surfactant that has a hydrophilic polyethylene oxide chain (on average it has 9.5 ethylene oxide units) and an aromatic hydrocarbon lipophilic or hydrophobic group.
Polyols may be classified according to their chemistry. [5] Some of these chemistries are polyether, polyester, [6] polycarbonate [7] [8] and also acrylic polyols. [9] [10] Polyether polyols may be further subdivided and classified as polyethylene oxide or polyethylene glycol (PEG), polypropylene glycol (PPG) and Polytetrahydrofuran or PTMEG.

Polyolefin sheets or foams are used in a wide variety of packaging applications, sometimes in direct contact with food. [ 14 ] Polyolefin elastomer POE is used as a main ingredient in the molded flexible foam technology such as in the fabrication of self skinned footwear (for example, Crocs shoes), seat cushions, arm rests, spa pillows, etc ...
Triethylene glycol, TEG, or triglycol is a colorless odorless viscous liquid with molecular formula HOCH 2 CH 2 OCH 2 CH 2 OCH 2 CH 2 OH. It is used as a plasticizer for vinyl polymers . It is also used in air sanitizer products, such as "Oust" [ 1 ] or "Clean and Pure".
The U.S. Code of Federal Regulations allows no more than 0.2% of diethylene glycol in polyethylene glycol when the latter is used as a food additive. [11] In Australia, it is only allowed at less than 0.25% w/w of DEG as an impurity in polyethylene glycol (PEG), [12] even in toothpaste. [13]
