Polyethylene Glycol 400

[Mr Ripple]

Anyone clued up on tjis or have any experience?
Its meant to be a safer alternative to regular PG although i don't know how they've quantified that.

PEG 400 (polyethylene glycol 400) is the low-molecular-weight grade of polyethylene glycol. It is a clear, colorless, viscous liquid. PEG 400 is strongly hydrophilic. The partition coefficient of PEG 400 between hexane and water is 0.000015, indicating that when PEG 400 is mixed with water and hexane, there are only 15 parts of hexane per 1 million parts of PEG 400 in the water layer. PEG 400 is soluble in water, acetone, alcohols, benzene, glycerin, and glycols.

Is there a reason to think that regular pg is unsafe? I think it’s fairly safe.

 

[Mr Ripple]

Thats what i thought but i came accross this.

Does he explain why he thinks it’s unsafe? I wouldn’t necessarily pay too much attention, he might just be a random nut job with a fish tank and a mobile phone.

He puts cinnamon danish swirl in a horchata recipe. I’d just ignore him.
