Tri Ethylene glycol(TEG) is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid belonging to the glycol family. It has a high boiling point, low volatility, and hygroscopic properties, making it useful in several industries.
Main Applications of Triethylene Glycol (TEG):- Gas DehydTriethylene glycol ration (Natural Gas Industry)
TEG is the most widely used liquid desiccant for natural gas dehydration.It absorbs water from natural gas to prevent pipeline corrosion, hydrate formation, and freezing.
- Plasticizer in Polymers
Used as a plasticizer in vinyl polymers and other resins to improve flexibility and durability.
- Solvent
Functions as a solvent for resins, dyes, and certain chemicals due to its high solvency and stability.
- Humectant
Its hygroscopic nature makes it useful as a humectant in adhesives, inks, and tobacco products.
- Heat Transfer Fluid
Used in cooling and heating systems (though less than ethylene glycol or propylene glycol).
- Disinfectant and Air Sanitizer
Exhibits antimicrobial properties.Historically, vaporized TEG was used in hospitals and public places to reduce airborne bacteria and viruses.
- Chemical Intermediate
Used in the synthesis of plasticizers, polyesters, polyurethane, and other specialty chemicals.
- Lubricants and Hydraulic Fluids
Serves as a base component in lubricants and specialty hydraulic fluids. Packing:
Bulk or in 220 Lit (net: 220 Kg) new drums, each 4 drums strapped on a pallet.
