Chelora Chemicals UAE supplies Polyethylene Glycol (PEG 400 / 4000 / 6000) (CAS 25322-68-3), also called macrogol, to pharmaceutical, cosmetic and industrial customers across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and all seven Emirates, as liquid PEG 400 and solid PEG 4000 and 6000 flakes or powder, with batch-wise COA and fast GCC delivery.
Polyethylene Glycol (PEG), or macrogol, is a family of water-soluble polymers made by polymerising ethylene oxide. The number in the grade name approximates the average molecular weight: PEG 400 is a clear, viscous, colourless liquid, while PEG 4000 and PEG 6000 are white, waxy solids supplied as flakes or powder.
Liquid PEG 400 is a solvent and co-solvent in oral liquids, soft-gelatin capsule fills and topical products. Solid grades act as ointment and suppository bases, tablet-coating plasticisers, binders and lubricants and carriers for solid dispersions made by melt or hot-melt extrusion. Industrial uses include cosmetics, lubricants, ceramics and textiles.
As an established chemical supplier in the UAE, Chelora Chemicals sources Polyethylene Glycol (PEG 400 / 4000 / 6000) from approved manufacturers with a controlled molecular-weight range, hydroxyl value and low ethylene oxide and dioxane residues, and delivers it to customers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain, as well as export customers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Africa and South Asia.

PEG (CAS 25322-68-3) is a family of polymers that differ by molecular weight. It is different from polypropylene glycol (PPG), from propylene glycol (a small molecule) and from poloxamers, and a PEG 400 liquid behaves very differently from a PEG 6000 solid. Please state the grade you need.
Share the grade (PEG 400, 4000 or 6000), pharma or industrial, quantity, packing, Incoterm and delivery Emirate through our contact page and our team aims to respond within one business day.
PEG 400 is typically supplied in HDPE drums or IBC totes, and PEG 4000 and 6000 in 25 kg liner-sealed bags, with smaller packs for trials. Packaging is sealed and labelled for safe transport.
The minimum order depends on packing and current stock. We handle everything from a few drums or small packs for trials and lab qualification up to full container loads.
Store in tightly closed drums or lined bags in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sun and heat. PEG is hygroscopic, so reseal opened packs promptly.
PEG is not classified as hazardous. Liquid spills are slippery and fine dust from solid grades can irritate the eyes and airways. Use ventilation and personal protective equipment and follow the SDS.
Yes. We export from the UAE to Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, East and West Africa, South Asia and other markets on EXW, FOB, CFR, CIF, DAP or DDP terms, subject to the import rules of each destination.
Yes. Samples are available for qualification on request, together with the COA and SDS, so your QC or R&D team can approve the material before a commercial order.
The number is the nominal average molecular weight. PEG 400 is a liquid used as a solvent, while PEG 4000 and PEG 6000 are waxy solids used as bases, binders, coating aids and dispersion carriers. Higher numbers melt at higher temperatures and are less hygroscopic.
Yes. Macrogol is the European pharmacopoeial name for polyethylene glycol, so Macrogol 4000 and PEG 4000 refer to the same material.
