Triethylene glycol, also known as TEG, is a colorless, odorless liquid with the chemical formula C6H14O4. It belongs to the family of glycols and is derived from ethylene oxide. TEG is a viscous liquid that is soluble in water and miscible with many other organic solvents.
TEG has various applications due to its unique properties. One of its primary uses is as a dehydrating agent, particularly in natural gas production and processing. It has the ability to absorb water and is commonly used in gas dehydration systems to remove moisture from natural gas.
TEG is also utilized as a solvent in different industries. It is commonly used in the production of resins, dyes, and inks. Additionally, TEG is an important component in the manufacturing of polyester and polyurethane foams. Its ability to dissolve a wide range of substances makes it a versatile solvent in various applications.
