Detailed Solution

  • Polyethylene glycols (PEG) are used in the preparation of non-ionic detergents since they contain an −OH group, which is reactive and forms non-ionic detergent. 
  • Non-ionic detergents do not contain any ions. 
  • They are actually esters of high molecular mass alcohols obtained by reaction between polyethylene glycols and stearic acid.
