Monoethylene Glycol (MEG)
CAS No 107-21-1The base glycol of antifreeze and polyester production.
Diethylene Glycol (DEG)
Chain-extending glycol for polyurethane and unsaturated polyester systems.
Product description
DEG offers a higher boiling point and lower volatility than MEG and is used as a chain extender in polyurethane and polyester systems. Its hygroscopic nature makes it a humectant in adhesives and textile finishing chemicals. It is also favoured in gas dehydration units.
Application areas
- Unsaturated polyester resin production
- Chain extender in polyurethane systems
- Adhesive and finishing chemicals
- Gas dehydration processes
- Humectant formulations
Packaging and delivery
Drums and 1000 L IBC totes; bulk tanker delivery for eligible products. Pack type and quantity are confirmed at quotation.
