METHYLENE GLYCOL MEG

Product Description

Ethylene Glycol, commonly referred to as MEG (Monoethylene Glycol), is a versatile chemical compound with numerous industrial applications. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a sweet taste and odor. Ethylene Glycol is predominantly used as a raw material in the production of polyester fibers, resins, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastics. It serves as a crucial component in antifreeze formulations for automotive engines, as it effectively lowers the freezing point of water and raises the boiling point of coolant, preventing engine damage from overheating and freezing. Ethylene Glycol also finds use as a solvent in the formulation of inks, dyes, and adhesives, as well as in the manufacture of various personal care products and pharmaceuticals. Its ability to dissolve a wide range of substances and its low volatility make it an essential ingredient in many industrial processes. However, caution must be exercised in handling Ethylene Glycol, as it is toxic if ingested and can cause serious health issues.
