Product Description
The TEG-tri ethylene glycol is a colorless, viscous liquid with a slight odor. It is non-flammable, mildly toxic, and considered non-hazardous. It is used as a plasticizer for vinyl polymers as well as in the manufacture of air sanitizer and other consumer products. The offered glycol is used in the manufacture of a host of consumer products that include anti-freeze, automotive care products, building and construction materials and many other items. The offered TEG-tri ethylene glycol is very efficient and useful.
Versatile Industrial ApplicationsTriethylene glycol serves multiple industries, most notably for the dehydration of natural gas, where its hygroscopic properties are essential. Additionally, its solvency, low volatility, and compatibility with many organic compounds make it useful as a plasticizer, solvent, and humectant in manufacturing, chemical synthesis, and even air sanitization.
Safe and Sustainable ChemicalTEG is recognized for its favorable environmental profile, being readily biodegradable and non-hazardous according to global standards. Its neutral pH and non-poisonous nature allow for safe handling, provided it is stored in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Shelf life extends up to two years under these conditions.
FAQs of TEG-tri ethylene glycol:
Q: How is triethylene glycol (TEG) manufactured?
A: TEG is produced industrially through the hydration of ethylene oxide, a process that results in a high purity, colorless, and odorless liquid suitable for technical and industrial use.
Q: What are the main uses of triethylene glycol?
A: Triethylene glycol is primarily used for natural gas dehydration, as a solvent in chemical synthesis, a plasticizer, humectant, and in air sanitizers due to its ability to retain moisture and absorb impurities.
Q: When should I choose TEG over other glycols?
A: TEG is preferred when a high boiling point, low volatility, and a hygroscopic nature are essential, such as in gas dehydration or industrial applications demanding stability and moisture control.
Q: Where should triethylene glycol be stored?
A: TEG should be stored in tightly sealed containers placed in cool, dry, and well-ventilated areas to maintain its quality, prevent contamination, and ensure a two-year shelf life.
Q: What benefits does TEG offer in industrial processes?
A: TEGs high purity, non-hazardous classification, compatibility with various solvents, and exceptional moisture absorption make it beneficial for safe, efficient, and eco-friendly industrial operations.
Q: How safe is triethylene glycol for use and environment?
A: TEG is non-toxic, non-flammable under normal conditions, and not classified as hazardous or regulated for transport. It is also readily biodegradable, minimizing environmental impact.
