Mono Ethylene Glycol

Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C2H6O2. It is a colourless liquid known for its low volatility and high hygroscopicity. MEG is miscible with various substances such as water, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, and esters. Despite being odourless, it possesses a sweet taste.

PROPERTIES

Applications of Monoethylene glycol

• Polyester Production: Monoethylene glycol is a key raw material in the production of polyester resins, fibers, and films. It undergoes reaction with terephthalic acid or dimethyl terephthalate to form polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a widely used thermoplastic polymer. PET is used in the manufacture of bottles, containers, textiles, packaging, and engineering plastics.
• Antifreeze and Coolants: Monoethylene glycol is utilized as the primary ingredient in automotive antifreeze and engine coolant formulations. It serves as a heat transfer fluid, preventing freezing and overheating of engine cooling systems. MEG-based antifreeze solutions lower the freezing point of water and raise the boiling point, providing effective engine protection in cold and hot climates.
• Hydraulic Fluids: Monoethylene glycol is used as a hydraulic fluid and heat transfer fluid in various industrial applications. It exhibits excellent thermal stability, low viscosity, and high lubricity, making it suitable for hydraulic systems, heat exchangers, and processing equipment. MEG-based hydraulic fluids provide efficient power transmission and thermal control in hydraulic machinery.
• Natural Gas Dehydration: Monoethylene glycol is employed in the dehydration of natural gas and hydrocarbon gases to remove moisture and water vapor. It acts as a desiccant or drying agent, absorbing water molecules from gas streams in dehydration units or glycol dehydration systems. MEG-based dehydration processes ensure the quality and purity of natural gas for transportation and distribution.
• Chemical Intermediates: Monoethylene glycol serves as a precursor or intermediate in the synthesis of various organic compounds, including plasticizers, surfactants, solvents, and lubricants. It undergoes reactions such as esterification, etherification, and oxidation to produce value-added chemicals for diverse industrial applications. MEG-based intermediates find use in coatings, adhesives, textiles, and personal care products.
• Deicing Fluids: Monoethylene glycol is used in the formulation of deicing fluids and anti-icing agents for aircraft, runways, and transportation infrastructure. It lowers the freezing point of water and prevents ice formation on surfaces exposed to low temperatures. MEG-based deicers are sprayed or applied to aircraft wings, fuselages, and critical infrastructure to maintain safety and operational efficiency in winter conditions.

Packaging Options
