Product Description
MEG is a colorless, odorless chemical widely used as a raw material in manufacturing polyester fibers, antifreeze, and coolants. It acts as a solvent coupler, freezing point depressant, and heat transfer fluid in various industries.
Applications/End-use Industries:
- Polyester resins and fibers production
- Automotive antifreeze and coolants
- HVAC heat transfer fluids
- Water-based adhesives and paints
- Textile and paper industries
- Electrolytic capacitors production
Versatile Industrial ApplicationsMono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) serves a wide array of industries, including automotive, textiles, and chemical manufacturing. Its primary applications feature prominently in antifreeze and coolants, polyester fiber production, resin synthesis, as well as deicing fluids and solvents. MEG's ability to mix completely with water and other solvents enhances its practical utility across different industrial processes.
Safe Handling and Storage GuidelinesMEG should be stored tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and incompatible substances. As it is harmful if swallowed and may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes, personal protective equipment is recommended during handling. Despite its toxicity if ingested, it is non-hazardous for air, sea, and road transport when managed under standard conditions.
Quality and Standards AssuranceSupplied at a purity of 99% minimum, MEG conforms to leading international industrial standards. Each batch meets rigorous specifications, including pH balance, density, and appearance as a clear colorless liquid. With a shelf life of two years from the date of manufacture, MEG's reliable quality facilitates consistent results in demanding industrial applications.
