MEG / DEG / TEG

India Glycols has set up its ethylene glycol plant in technical collaboration with Scientific Design Inc, USA. The plant produces three derivatives of ethylene glycols — monoethylene glycol (MEG), diethylene glycol (DEG) and triethylene glycol (TEG).

IGL has been manufacturing bio-MEG derived from bio-ethanol since 1989, and meeting stringent international specifications as required by the polyester fibre, yarn, film and PET resin industries.

MEG is a colourless, odourless, non-volatile liquid. It is completely miscible in water and many organic solvents. The MEG manufactured is of minimum 99.5 per cent purity and meets the required UV transmittance values specified by polyester manufacturers.

DEG is a stable, high-boiling, odourless and hygroscopic liquid, which is completely miscible in water.

TEG is a colourless, odourless and stable liquid with low viscosity and a high boiling point. It is miscible in water and hygroscopic in nature.
