Ethylene Glycol

We offer Ethylene Glycol that is miscible with water in all proportions. It is widely used in the production of antifreeze, coolants, aircraft, anticancer and deicers & solvents. Apart from this it is also used in the manufacturing of polyester (PET) resins, films and fibers.

We are Authorized Dealers of Reliance Industries Ltd. for Mono Ethylene Glycol.

Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) is a colorless, virtually odorless and slightly viscous liquid. It is miscible with water, alcohols, aldehydes and many organic compounds. MEG will not dissolve rubber, cellulose acetate or heavy vegetable and petroleum oils. MEG has a low volatility and it is 50% more hygroscopic than glycerol at room temperature.

Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) is the most widely used chemical from the Glycol family. It is an essential raw material for Polyester fibres and Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) polymer. MEG based products are also used as coolants in Automobile antifreeze, resins, humectants for paper etc.

MEG can be transported in Epoxy coated MS tankers. It can be stored in MS containers lined with baked phenolic resin / air drying epoxy phenolic resin or vinyl resin. It is advisable to store MEG in a cool, dry place with good ventilation - away from heat, sparks or flames.

Applications:

1. Polyester

Mono Ethylene Glycol is an essential raw material for Polyester. Ethylene Glycol reacts with PTA to produce polyester.

2. Adhesives, Sealants and Coatings

Mono Ethylene Glycol and D-Ethylene Glycol is used in latex based paint formulation. These glycols are also used to produce acrylate and methacrylate resins for coatings, adhesives, and paints.

3. Alkyd Resins for Paints and Coatings

Mono Ethylene Glycol is used as a reactant in the manufacture of Alkyd resins which are used in Paints, enamels and varnishes.

4. Antifreeze

Ethylene Glycol (MEG) is used as an active ingredient in engine coolants and antifreeze, offering benefits including a high boiling point, low vapor pressure, excellent heat transfer abilities, and the ability to depress the freezing point of water.

5. Others

A) Dyes & Inks

MEG finds applications in products like Dyes & Inks for High speed printing.

B) Humectants

Glycols being hygroscopic in nature are also used as Humectants for paper etc.

We are Authorized Dealers of Reliance Industries Ltd for Triethylene Glycol. Our products are safe, quality tested, eco-friendly can be used in various industries and can be availed at competent rates. Triethylene glycol is packed in bulk in new MS drums.

Applications :

• Natural gas dehydration: hygroscopic nature of teg is put to use in dehydration of natural gas. Teg is contacted counter currently with natural gas in a packed or bubble tray to remove moisture from natural gas. Teg is subsequently regenerated for reuse by stripping it of its water content.
• Plasticizer: Teg can be effectively used as a Plasticizer for vinyls, nitro cellulose, safety glasses. Diesters of teg gives good low temperature properties and smooth film finishes.
• Conditioning agent the affinity of teg for water is used advantageously in the manufacture of adhesives or pastes to eliminate shrinkage, curling and brittleness.

We are Authorized Dealers of Reliance Industries Ltd. for DI- Ethylene Glycol.

Di Ethylene Glycol is a by-product in the manufacture of Mono-ethylene glycol produced by EO hydrolysis. Di Ethylene glycol is a colourless liquid with a high boiling point. Di-Ethylene Glycol is practically odourless and sweetish to taste. It is considerably hygroscopic in nature. Di-Ethylene Glycol is miscible with water, alcohol, ether, acetone but is insoluble in benzene and carbon tetrachloride.

 

Di-Ethylene Glycol is used in Unsaturated Polyester Resins, Coolants, Pesticides, Rubber Compounding, Plasticizer, Polyurethane Foams, Textile Auxiliaries, Polyethylene Glycols, Paints etc.

 

Di-Ethylene Glycol can be transported in Epoxy coated MS tankers. It can be stored in MS containers lined with baked phenolic resin / air drying epoxy phenolic resin or vinyl resin. It is advisable to store Di-Ethylene Glycol in a cool, dry place with good ventilation - away from heat, sparks or flames.

 

Application :

• Unsaturated Polyester Resins: Polyester resins derived from Di-Ethylene Glycol are flexible in nature. They are used as low pressure laminates for glass fibres, asbestos, cloth and paper. 
• Coolants: Di-Ethylene Glycol can be used in cooling systems as it increases the boiling temperature considerably there by enabling the coolant perform more effectively in carrying off the excess heat generated by auto engines. 
• Pesticides: Di-Ethylene Glycol is primarily used to encapsulate granules of phorate pesticide. 
• Rubber Compounding: For coloured rubber products such as hawai chappals, Di-Ethylene Glycol is used as an additive along with silica filler compounds to prevent the absorption of other ingredients such as the accelerator used in the rubber compounds. 
• Plasticizer: Benzoic acid is esterified with Di-Ethylene Glycol to produce Di-Ethylene Glycol Dibenzoate . It finds an application as plasticizer in PVC Compounds , PVA adhesives and moulded urethanes. 
• Polyurethane foams: Di-Ethylene Glycol is condensed with adipic acid or other poly functional acids to give polyurethane intermediate which upon polymerisation with di-iso-cyanate and subsequent reaction with water form polyurethane foams. 
• Textile Auxiliaries: Di-Ethylene Glycol is used as a hygroscopic agent in textile printing. The fact that it is completely miscible in water as well as many organic chemicals, makes it suitable as a solvent in many auxiliary formulations. 
• Polyethylene Glycols: Di-Ethylene Glycol reacts with EO to form higher polyethylene glycols which find application in pharmaceutical, brake fluids, cosmetics. 
• Paints: Di-Ethylene Glycol is used as a modifier in the manufacture of alkyd resins used in formulating paints. 
• Grinding Aid: Used as a grinding aid in Cement industry, in order to achieve higher fineness and smooth mill operations, increase throughput and also reduces energy consumption.
