There was mention of Carbowax being a poly ethylene carbonate. (PEG)
Actually PEG stands for polyethylene glycols.  The Merck Index also lists
Carbowaxes as polyethylene glycols. These are substances that have many
uses in the chemical industry.  Just wanted to clear this small difference
of carbonate vs glycol up.
