Monoethylene glycol (MEG) antifreeze grade
Introduction:
Monoethylene glycol (MEG) is an odorless, colorless, clear and viscose liquid with a sweet taste, which is produced from the reaction between water and ethylene oxide. It is miscible with water, alcohols, and many organic compounds, and has the chemical formula of C2H6O2.
General Applications:
Monoethylene glycol (MEG) has numerous applications for manufacture of various products including automotive antifreeze and coolants, resins, deicing fluids, heat transfer fluids, leather, paper, textile fibers, water-based adhesives, sturdy polyethylene terephthalate drink and food containers, latex paints and asphalt emulsions and electrolytic capacitors.
Because of the DEG portion of the product its boiling point is over the pure Monoethylene glycol (MEG) and freezing point is below the pure Monoethylene glycol (MEG)
