MEG ethylene glycol is a versatile solvent with many valuable properties, also an effective solvent. Some of the main characteristics of ethylene glycol solvent are:
Hygroscopic: Ethylene glycol is hygroscopic, which means it has a high affinity for water. This property allows it to be used as a dehydrating agent, as it can remove moisture from solutions.
Low volatility: Ethylene glycol solvent has a low vapor pressure, evaporating slowly. This property makes it useful in applications where evaporation needs to be minimized, such as in ethylene glycol antifreeze.
Applications
Ethylene glycol solvent is used as antifreeze, polyester fiber, film, softener, cosmetics, and explosives, and used as a solvent for dyes, inks, etc., and can be prepared to be used as an antifreeze agent for engines, gas dehydrating agent, resin manufacturing, also can be used as a wetting agent for cellophane, fiber, leather, adhesive. MEG ethylene glycol can also produce synthetic resin PET, fiber grade PET that is polyester fiber, bottle chip grade PET for making mineral water bottles, etc.
Storage and Transportation
Tank car or ship out of factory
Notes
Ethylene glycol should be stored in a cool, ventilated warehouse.
Keep away from fire and heat sources. Keep out of direct sunlight.
The packaging container should be kept sealed during storage.
MEG ethylene glycol should be separated from oxidizer, and acid material storage.
