Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG)

MONO ETHYLENE GLYCOL 225KG (THAILAND) – ANTIFREEZE, POLYESTER AND MULTIPURPOSE RAW MATERIAL

Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) is a clear, hygroscopic, colourless, odourless liquid fully miscible with water. It is the main raw material for antifreeze, polyester fibres, PET resin and many industrial applications.

PRODUCT INFORMATION / Introduced packaging: 225 kg/drum (Thailand). The product is a clear, hygroscopic liquid. Acceptance criteria must be based on the COA of the actual batch delivered.

1. What Is MONO ETHYLENE GLYCOL 225KG (THAILAND)?

Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) is an organic compound with the formula C2H6O2, produced by the hydration of ethylene oxide. Thanks to its two hydroxyl groups, MEG is fully miscible with water, hygroscopic and participates in many chemical reactions. It is the main raw material for antifreeze, cooling fluids, polyester, synthetic fibres, PET resin and many other industrial applications.
