Diethylene Glycol (DEG)
CAS No 111-46-6Chain-extending glycol for polyurethane and unsaturated polyester systems.
Monoethylene Glycol (MEG)
The base glycol of antifreeze and polyester production.
Product description
Because MEG markedly depresses the freezing point of water it is the standard antifreeze component in cooling and heating circuits. It is also the principal feedstock for PET and unsaturated polyester resins. Its hygroscopic nature makes closed-container storage advisable.
Application areas
- Antifreeze and heat transfer fluids
- PET and polyester resin production
- Humectant and softening additives
- Natural gas dehydration
- Textile fibre production
Packaging and delivery
