What is triethylene glycol CAS 112-27-6?

Triethylene Glycol (TEG) is a colorless, odorless, viscous, and stable organic compound. It is a member of the glycol family, specifically a diol with two hydroxyl (-OH) groups, which gives it key properties like high hygroscopicity (water absorption) and solubility in water.

Its chemical formula is C₆H₁₄O₄, and its linear structure is often written as HO-(CH₂-CH₂-O)₃-H.

What is triethylene glycol used for?

Natural gas dehydration: This is its most common application. TEG is highly effective at removing water vapour from natural gas streams in order to prevent pipeline corrosion and the formation of ice-like hydrates.

Solvent: Triethylene Glycol is used as a solvent in printing inks, dyes and resins.

Chemical intermediate: It is a raw material used to produce plasticisers (for PVC and rubber), polyurethane resins and morpholine.

Humectant: It helps to retain moisture in products such as tobacco, adhesives and printing pastes.

Air sanitiser: When aerosolised, TEG CAS 112-27-6 vapour can kill airborne bacteria, a property utilised in air disinfection systems.

Other uses: TEG is a component of hydraulic fluids, lubricants and de-icing fluids.
