Ethylene Glycol (MEG)
Essential industrial chemical for antifreeze, coolant, hydraulic fluid, deicing, and chemical intermediate applications
Product Overview
Ethylene Glycol (MEG, CAS 107-21-1) is an essential industrial chemical with ultra-high purity of ≥99.5%. Its excellent heat transfer properties and low freezing point make it indispensable for antifreeze and coolant formulations in automotive and industrial cooling systems. With initial boiling point ≥185°C and moisture content ≤1.0%, our MEG meets the stringent quality requirements of major manufacturers worldwide. The compound also serves in hydraulic fluid formulations, deicing solutions for aircraft and runways, and as a versatile chemical intermediate for various synthetic processes.
Application Details
Antifreeze formulations leverage MEG's low freezing point (-12.9°C for pure MEG, lower in aqueous solutions) and high boiling point (197°C) for year-round engine protection. Industrial coolant systems use MEG-based formulations for efficient heat transfer in HVAC, chemical processing, and data center cooling applications. In hydraulic fluids, MEG provides reliable low-temperature fluidity and system protection. For deicing, MEG-based solutions effectively remove ice from aircraft surfaces and runways while providing corrosion protection. As a chemical intermediate, MEG serves as a building block for various synthetic processes across multiple industries.
Product Comparison
MEG vs DEG vs TEG: Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) is the most widely used glycol, primarily for antifreeze, coolant, hydraulic fluid, deicing, and chemical intermediate applications. Diethylene Glycol (DEG) offers higher boiling point and lower volatility, preferred for gas dehydration and certain resin applications. Triethylene Glycol (TEG) provides even higher boiling point and is used for natural gas dehydration and air sterilization. For antifreeze, coolant, hydraulic fluid, and deicing applications, MEG is the standard choice; for gas processing and specialty solvents, DEG or TEG may be more appropriate.
