MEG
Summary
Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) — Brief Technical Overview
Monoethylene glycol is a clear, slightly viscous liquid used in polyester production and antifreeze formulations.
Chemical Identity
- Formula: C₂H₆O₂
- Appearance: Clear, colorless, slightly viscous liquid
- Solubility: Miscible with water, alcohols, and many organics
Production
MEG is produced by hydrolyzing ethylene oxide, a reaction that yields MEG as the primary product along with smaller amounts of DEG and TEG. Modern plants use catalytic or thermal processes to maximize MEG selectivity.
Key Applications
- Polyester (PET) Production: Fibers, films, and packaging
- Antifreeze & Coolants: Automotive and industrial heat‑transfer fluids
- De‑icing & Anti‑icing: Aircraft and runway formulations
- Chemical Intermediate: For solvents, surfactants, and glycols
Why Industries Use It
- High purity and reactivity
- Essential role in large‑scale polyester production
- Strong performance in heat‑transfer applications
- Reliable global demand and supply chain
Availability
MEG is supplied by Tradella Company, meeting the needs of manufacturers across multiple sectors.
