TRIETHYLENE GLYCOL (TEG)
Method of obtaining:
Triethylene glycol is obtained in the ethylene oxide hydration reaction as a by-product of the ethylene glycol synthesis (MEG). Then it is emitted and purified in the rectification process.
Application
It is a raw material in producing polyester resins as a solvent in the industry, an agent to dry gases and stabilize the humidity. Fertilizers, anti-freezers, thermoconducting agents, hydraulic agents, reprographic articles (toners), lubricants and lubricant additives.
Storage and transport
Store in a sealed original unit packaging in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place away from any possible ignition sources (open fire, sparks).
