Carbowax, a type of polyethylene glycol (PEG), is considered polar due to its hydroxyl (-OH) functional groups, which can form hydrogen bonds with water and other polar substances. The presence of these polar groups contributes to its solubility in water and other polar solvents. However, the long hydrocarbon chains can give it some nonpolar characteristics, but overall, Carbowax is predominantly polar.
