The ULTRAPEG® product line is made up of ethylene oxide polymers. It is represented by the following general formula: HO(CH2CH2O)nH According to the degree of ethoxylation(n), products with different molecular weights and melting points can be obtained, which allows the use of these products in various applications. The hydrophilicity of the polyoxyethylene chain from the ULTRAPEG® product line allows for the obtention of a hygroscopic polymer which is highly water soluble. By varying the molecular weight, liquid or solid products may be obtained, covering a wide range of viscosities and consistencies.

Storage & Handling

Storage And Handling
  • The products in the ULTRAPEG line have low toxicity levels and are readily biodegradable. Use proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling the products, such as PVC gloves, safety goggles, and coat.
  • In case of accidental contact, proceed as follows:
  • eyes: wash immediately with abundant water for at least 15 minutes;
  • skin: remove the contaminated clothing and wash the affected sites with abundant water;
  • ingestion: seek urgent medical care.
  • Store these products in sealed containers, in a sheltered, dry place, away from sources of heat or ignition. Because these products are hygroscopic, we recommend storing them on cement floors at low humidity. Handle chemical products in well-ventilated areas, with ready access to emergency showers and eyewash stations.
  • The products in the ULTRAPEG® line are considered non-flammable. When heated to temperatures above their flash point, decomposition may occur. In case of actual fire, please consult the appropriate MSDS.
  • ULTRAPEG® 200 is  low-viscosity liquids at temperatures above 5ºC. For bulk storage of products in the ULTRAPEG® line with molecular weights of 600 or more, use tanks made of AISI 304 or 316 stainless steel or carbon steel coated with vinyl ester resin. These tanks should have internal coils made of 304 or 316 stainless steel installed at the bottom and provided with hot water at temperatures of 70 to 80ºC. Steam is not recommended as product may darken at high heat. In addition, a recirculation system is recommended to homogenize the product before use
  • To handle products in the ULTRAPEG® line with molecular weights over 600, packaged in drums, we recommend heating in ovens, water baths or with thermal tapes at temperatures of 60°C to 80°C for only as long as it takes to melt and homogenize the products before use.
