Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) is a clear, colorless, odorless liquid with a sweet taste. It is hygroscopic, meaning it attracts and retains moisture from the air. MEG is miscible with water and most organic solvents.
APPLICATION & USAGE
- Antifreeze and Coolant: One of the primary applications of MEG is as an antifreeze and coolant in automotive engines and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
- Polyester Resins: MEG is a vital component in the production of polyester resins used in the manufacture of various products, including fibers, films, bottles, and packaging materials.
- Deicing Solutions: MEG is used in deicing fluids for aircraft and runways to prevent ice buildup during winter conditions.
- Humectant: Due to its hygroscopic nature, MEG is used as a humectant in various products such as cosmetics, lotions, and personal care items.
- Gas Dehydration: MEG is used in natural gas processing to remove water vapor and other impurities, preventing pipeline corrosion and hydrate formation.
- Solvent: MEG is used as a solvent in various applications, such as in the production of paints, inks, dyes, and other chemical processes.
