Triethylene Glycol

Triethylene Glycol – Simple and Reliable for Industrial Use

Triethylene Glycol (TEG) is a clear, odourless liquid that’s used in many industries. It’s mainly known for removing water from gas and air systems. Because it absorbs water so well, it helps keep pipelines and equipment running safely.

In Australia, it’s commonly used in gas plants, air-conditioning systems, and chemical production. People choose it because it’s stable, doesn’t evaporate easily, and is low in toxicity.

What Is Triethylene Glycol?

Triethylene Glycol comes from mixing ethylene oxide with water. It’s a thick liquid with strong water-absorbing ability. Its chemical formula is C₆H₁₄O₄. It boils at 285°C and doesn’t produce much vapour, which makes it good for closed systems. The industrial grade is usually 99% pure and stores well under normal conditions.

Common Uses

TEG is mainly used to dry out natural gas. It helps stop rust and blockages in pipelines. It’s also used in air systems, especially in HVAC setups, to keep moisture levels down. You’ll also find it in things like plasticisers, lubricants, and solvents. Because it’s fairly safe and biodegradable, it sometimes shows up in cosmetic products and cleaning fluids too.
