Product Description
Ethylene Glycol / Monoethylene Glycol (MEG)
Ethylene Glycol (EG/MEG) is the simplest diol, presenting as a colorless, odorless, sweet-smelling liquid with low toxicity to animals. It is completely miscible with water and serves as a versatile solvent, effective antifreeze, and key raw material for polyester synthesis.
Key Features
  • Versatile Solvent: Excellent miscibility with water for diverse applications
  • Effective Antifreeze: Prevents freezing in automotive and industrial systems
  • Polyester Synthesis: Essential raw material for producing polyester materials
  • Phase Transfer Catalyst: Polyethylene glycol (PEG) derivative functions as catalyst
