Tri Ethylene Glycol (TEG)

Triethylene glycol (TEG) is an organic compound composed of three ethylene glycol units. Considered a polyol, it has various industrial applications. TEG appears as a viscous, colorless to slightly yellowish liquid with a mildly sweet odor. It dissolves well in water and some organic solvents like alcohols and has a high boiling point and a low freezing point.

• Acid Gas Absorption: One of the primary uses of TEG is in the absorption of acid gases such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide in natural gas refining processes.
• Antifreeze and Coolants: Due to its low freezing point, TEG is used in the production of antifreeze and cooling liquids for vehicles and other mechanical equipment.
• Industrial Solvents: TEG serves as a solvent in the paint and printing industries, textiles, and other industrial processes.

Chemical Production: It is used in the manufacturing of various other chemicals, including ethoxylates and glycol-modified products.
