| Color (Pt-Co) | ≤ 10 |
| Acidity (as Acetic Acid) | ≤ 0.001% |
Key Applications
- Polyester Fibers & PET Resins: The single largest consumer of MEG. It reacts with PTA to produce polyethylene terephthalate (PET), used globally for making textile fibers, clothing, and clear plastic beverage bottles.
- Antifreeze & Coolants: Acts as a highly effective freezing point depressant. It is the primary active ingredient in automotive engine coolants, de-icing fluids for aircraft, and industrial HVAC systems.
- Heat Transfer Fluids: Used in geothermal heating/cooling systems and industrial chillers due to its excellent thermal capacity.
- Chemical Intermediates: Serves as a solvent, a dehydrating agent for natural gas pipelines, and a raw material for synthesizing plastics and synthetic waxes.
Packaging & Bulk Shipping
As a non-hazardous general cargo for sea freight, we offer flexible bulk packaging solutions to maximize your cost-efficiency:
- 230 KG Galvanized Iron Drums or HDPE Drums.
- 1000 KG IBC Totes (Ideal for medium-sized manufacturers).
- 22 - 24 MT Flexitanks (Highly recommended for maximum volume per 20' container and lowest freight cost per ton).
ℹ️ Safety & Handling Information
Transport: Classified as Non-Dangerous Goods (General Cargo) for ocean transport. No DG certificate is required.
Health Warning: While non-flammable and non-corrosive, MEG is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Its sweet taste can attract animals and children. Ingestion can cause severe kidney damage and central nervous system depression. Keep containers tightly closed and store in a dry, ventilated area. Operators should wear standard industrial PPE.
