Monoethylene Glycol (MEG)
Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) is a clear, colorless liquid used in antifreeze, coolants, and industrial applications. Ideal for polyester resin production, heat transfer fluids, and gas dehydration systems.
Description
Monoethylene Glycol (MEG), also known as Ethylene Glycol, is a clear, colorless liquid with virtually no odor. It is a key industrial chemical used across multiple industries as a raw material, coolant, and antifreeze agent.
MEG is primarily used in the manufacture of polyester (PET) resins, polyester fibers, adhesives, and inks, as well as in heat transfer fluids and engine coolants. Because of its excellent heat stability and low freezing point, it is widely utilized in cooling and de-icing systems, as well as in air conditioning and refrigeration processes.
Moreover, Monoethylene Glycol plays an important role in natural gas dehydration systems, where it helps to prevent the formation of gas hydrates. Its high purity and miscibility with water, alcohols, and other organic compounds make it an ideal base for a wide range of industrial formulations.
