What is the CAS number 107 21 1?
The CAS number 107 21 1 is mono ethylene glycol (MEG Chemical).
The main characteristics of ethylene glycol, monoethylene glycol (MEG) are:
- Mono ethylene glycol is a colourless, transparent liquid and the simplest of the diglycols.
- It is miscible with water and acetone, slightly soluble in ether and insoluble in petroleum hydrocarbons and oils.
- It dissolves calcium chloride, zinc chloride, sodium chloride and other inorganic substances.
What is the main use of mono ethylene glycol (CAS 107-21-1)?
| Applications/Uses of MEG | |
| Chemical Intermediate for Resins | · Polyester resins (fibers, containers, and films) · Resin esters as plasticizers (adhesives, lacquers, and enamels) · Alkyd-type resins (synthetic rubbers, adhesive & surface coatings) |
| Solvent Coupler | · Stabilizer against gel formation · Freezing point depression · Heat transfer fluids (gas compressors, heating, ice rinks etc) · Al weather anti-freeze and as coolants · Water-based formulation (adhesives, latex paints, asphalt emulsions) |
| Solvent | Medium for suspending conductive salt in electrolytic capacitors. |
| Humectants | · Textile Fibers · Paper & Leather · Adhesives & Glue |
| Chemical Intermediate | Used as Solvents. |
Is mono ethylene glycol CAS 107-21-1 safe?
Monoethylene glycol (CAS 107-21-1) is not safe and is hazardous.
1. It is slightly toxic and may harm health, particularly if inhaled, ingested or in contact with the skin.
2. Long-term or excessive exposure to ethylene glycol can lead to kidney, liver and nervous system diseases.
3. When handling ethylene glycol, wear protective gloves, goggles and clothing to avoid direct contact with the skin or eyes. Work in a well-ventilated area and try to avoid inhaling its vapours.
