Triethylene Glycol
Triethylene glycol, TEG, or triglycol is a colorless odorless viscous liquid with molecular formula HOCH2CH2OCH2CH2OCH2CH2OH. It is used as a plasticizer for vinyl polymers. It is also used in air sanitizer products, such as “Oust”[1] or “Clean and Pure”. When aerosolized it acts as a disinfectant. Glycols are also used as liquid desiccants for natural gas and in air conditioning systems. It is an additive for hydraulic fluids and brake fluids and is used as a base for “smoke machine” fluid in the entertainment industry.
Triethylene Glycol (TEG) is a colorless, odorless, and hygroscopic liquid belonging to the glycol family. It is widely known for its moisture-absorbing properties and is primarily used as a dehydrating agent, particularly in the natural gas and air conditioning industries. TEG is miscible with water and many organic solvents, making it versatile in industrial and chemical applications.
Chemway is one of the Triethylene Glycol (TEG), manufacturers, exporters, and suppliers in Fujairah, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Kuwait, Muscat, Dubai UAE.
