Industrial Applications & Uses of TEG

Triethylene Glycol is a cornerstone of modern industry, engineered to solve critical challenges across multiple sectors.

• Natural Gas Dehydration: TEG is the industry standard for removing water from natural gas streams. This prevents the formation of corrosive hydrates, protects pipeline integrity, and ensures the safe, uninterrupted flow of gas, directly reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
• Air Conditioning & HVAC Systems: As a highly effective humectant, TEG is used in large-scale air conditioning systems to dehumidify air, improving air quality and system efficiency.
• Solvents and Chemical Formulations: TEG is a high-boiling point solvent used in the production of printing inks, paints, and coatings. It improves solubility, controls viscosity, and ensures a smooth, uniform application.
• Chemical Intermediate: It is a vital raw material for synthesizing high-performance polyester resins, polyurethane foams, and plasticizers used in everything from flexible plastics to durable adhesives.
• Coolants and Antifreeze: When blended, TEG provides excellent thermal stability for industrial coolants and heat transfer fluids, protecting systems against freezing and corrosion.
• Lubricants and Hydraulic Fluids: TEG is used to formulate specialty lubricants and hydraulic fluids, offering stability and performance under extreme conditions.

 Safe Handling of Triethylene Glycol

To ensure personnel safety and maintain product integrity, proper handling procedures are essential. We recommend the following precautions:

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always use appropriate PPE, including nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and face shields, to prevent skin and eye contact. In areas with insufficient ventilation, a suitable respirator should be worn.
• Ventilation: Handle TEG in a well-ventilated area to minimize the inhalation of vapors.
• Hygiene: Avoid direct contact. If skin contact occurs, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in handling areas.

Storage and Shelf Life

Proper storage is critical for maintaining the quality and stability of Triethylene Glycol.

• Container Requirements: Store TEG in sealed, corrosion-resistant containers, such as stainless steel, HDPE, or the original unopened drums. Ensure containers are tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption.
• Storage Environment: Keep containers in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. The ideal storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C.
• Chemical Incompatibility: Store TEG separately from strong acids, oxidizing agents, and other incompatible materials to prevent hazardous chemical reactions.
• Shelf Life: When stored under these recommended conditions, Triethylene Glycol has a shelf life of at least 12 months.
