Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) or ethylene glycol is one of the important commercially available glycol. It is produced industrially from ethylene or ethylene oxide. In this process of manufacturing MEG two co-products are obtained, diethylene glycol (DEG) and triethylene glycol (TEG).
It is an important raw material for the number of industrial applications including manufacturing of polyester fiber, fabrics and polyethylene terephthalate used to manufacture bottles. Other industrial uses comprise of being used as a coolant, heat transfer agents, antifreeze and also as a hydrate inhibitor in gas pipelines.
APPLICATION:
Chemical Intermediate for Resins - Polyester resins, Resin esters as plasticizers, Alkyd-type resins
Solvent Coupler - Stabilizer against gel formation, Freezing point depression, Heat transfer fluids, All weather anti-freeze and as coolants, Water-based formulation
Solvent - Medium for suspending conductive salt in electrolytic capacitors
Humectants - Textile Fibers, Paper & Leather, Adhesives & Glue
Chemical Intermediate - Used as Solvents
Ethylene Glycol is an important organic compound with the chemical formula CHO, commonly known as ethane-1,2-diol. It is a colorless, odorless, and sweet-tasting viscous liquid. Due to its unique properties, ethylene glycol is widely utilized across various industries.
Key Properties:
Boiling Point: Approximately 197.3 C (388.1 F)
Melting Point: -12.9 C (8.8 F)
Density: About 1.11 g/cm
Monoethylene glycol (MEG), diethylene glycol (DEG) and triethylene glycol (TEG)
MEG is a colourless, odourless, non-volatile liquid. It is completely miscible in water and many organic solvents. The MEG manufactured is of minimum 99.5 per cent purity and meets the required UV transmittance values specified by polyester manufacturers
DEG is a stable, high-boiling, odourless and hygroscopic liquid, which is completely miscible in water.
TEG is a colourless, odourless and stable liquid with low viscosity and a high boiling point. It is miscible in water and hygroscopic in nature
Origin - India and Korea.
