Packaging and shipping
Triethylene Glycol (TEG) is a colorless, odorless, hygroscopic organic compound belonging to the glycol family. It is widely used in industrial and commercial applications due to its excellent hygroscopicity, high boiling point, chemical stability, and low volatility. TEG has strong moisture absorption capability and good solvent properties, making it an ideal component in many formulations and processing systems.




Product Description
From a procurement perspective, Triethylene Glycol is valued for its consistent purity, reliable performance, and broad compatibility with various chemical processes. It is commonly used as a dehydrating agent, solvent, plasticizer intermediate, and humectant across multiple industries including natural gas processing, plastics, coatings, and air disinfection systems.
