PEG 1000 (Polyethylene Glycol 1000 | Macrogol 1000)
Pharcogol 1000
PHARCOGOL 1000 is a medium molecular weight polyethylene glycol that appears as a soft, waxy solid with excellent water solubility. It is commonly used as a hydrophilic base for ointments and suppositories, providing smooth texture and controlled melting behavior. In solid dosage formulations, it functions as a binder, solubilizer, and processing aid for granulation. Its compatibility with APIs and excipients makes it suitable for a wide range of pharmaceutical applications.

Pharma Grade PEG 1000 in Pharmaceutical Applications
PEG 1000 is a medium molecular weight polyethylene glycol presenting as a soft, white waxy solid with excellent water solubility and low toxicity. It is a versatile, inert excipient with broad compatibility across APIs and formulation systems.
Key Applications:
- Hydrophilic base for ointments and topical preparations - imparts smooth texture, non-greasy feel and controlled release
- Suppository base - precise melting behavior ensures reliable drug release at body temperature
- Binder and granulation aid in solid dosage forms (tablets, capsules)
- Solubilizer and wetting agent for poorly water-soluble APIs
- Plasticizer in film coatings and modified-release systems
- Carrier matrix in solid dispersion formulations to enhance bioavailability
- Processing lubricant in direct compression and roller compaction
All Pharcogol® (PEG) products are manufactured in strict conformance with internationally recognized pharmacopeial standards, including the United States Pharmacopeia / National Formulary (USP/NF), European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur. / EP), British Pharmacopoeia (BP), Indian Pharmacopoeia (IP), Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP), and other major compendial references. Ph. Eur., EP, and BP are interchangeable designations commonly used to refer to European and British pharmacopeial standards, and our products comply with all applicable monographs thereunder.
For customers with specific regulatory or market requirements, we are fully equipped to supply products conforming to any additional pharmacopeial standard upon request. Please contact our technical team to discuss your compliance requirements.
Technical Information
Common questions about PEG 1000 (Polyethylene Glycol 1000 | Macrogol 1000)
Our PEG 1000 is manufactured and tested to conform with USP-NF, EP (European Pharmacopoeia) and BP (British Pharmacopoeia) specifications, ensuring global regulatory acceptance.
PEG 1000 has a nominal average molecular weight of ~1000 g/mol. It is confirmed via hydroxyl value determination and viscometry per pharmacopoeial methods.
It is a soft, white waxy solid at room temperature with a melting point range of approximately 37–40°C, making it ideal for suppository and ointment base applications where controlled melt behavior is critical.
Yes. PEG 1000 is chemically inert and demonstrates broad compatibility with most APIs and co-excipients. Our technical team can provide compatibility data and support formulation-specific studies on request.
We supply a complete documentation package including Certificate of Analysis (CoA), Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), pharmacopoeial compliance reports and can support DMF (Drug Master File) referencing for US FDA and EU regulatory filings.
MOQs are flexible to suit both R&D-scale and commercial bulk requirements. Packaging options include drums - customizable per buyer specifications and export requirements.
Each batch undergoes rigorous in-process and final QC testing - including appearance, pH, viscosity, hydroxyl value, heavy metals and microbial limits - with full traceability through our QMS. Batch-to-batch consistency is a manufacturing priority.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep containers tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption. Shelf life is typically 2–3 years under recommended conditions.
Yes. Our in-house R&D team actively works on excipient optimization and novel PEG applications - including use in hot-melt extrusion (HME), solid dispersions and transdermal systems. Custom molecular weight profiles or blended grades can be explored for specific formulation needs.
Pharcos Speciality Ltd exports to pharmaceutical markets across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Africa. We have established logistics expertise for temperature-sensitive, waxy-solid grade PEGs and comply with international export documentation requirements.
