About Triethylene Glycol. Triethylene Glycol is a colorless viscous liquid with a high boiling point (288 °C) that is denser than water, in which it is soluble, and exhales a mild odor. It is combustible, but is not considered toxic in single or repeated doses.
It must be stored in a tightly closed container under an inert atmosphere and at refrigerated temperatures.
Raw materials and the respective production processes employed in the manufacturing of Triethylene Glycol are listed below.
- Ethylene oxide (hydration; coproduced with ethylene glycol/diethylene glycol),
- Diethylene glycol + ethylene oxide (epoxidation)
The uses and applications of Triethylene Glycol may vary according to its specification. The main forms of Triethylene Glycol are technical grade, and CP grade.
TEG is widely used as a dehydration agent in natural gas processing, as a plasticizer for the production of vinyl polymers, as a solvent for printing inks, dyes, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, in the manufacture of disinfectants, and as a tobacco humectant.
