TEG (Triethylene Glycol)
Description
Triethylene Glycol (TEG) is a larger molecule than either MEG or DEG and has two ether groups. It is less clear and less hygroscopic than DEG, but has a higher boiling point, density, and viscosity.
Applications
The viscous glycol ether is an important industrial solvent. It is utilized in the manufacture of unsaturated polyesters, plasticizer, and some important resins. It is a dyeing agent of gases. DEG is an effective softening agent, making glues and adhesives more flexible. It is an important component in formulations of brake fluids pastes and pigments.
