Why is triethylene glycol used as a solvent rather than for example ethanol?

CAS 112-27-6 Triethylene glycol (TEG) is used as a solvent over ethanol due to its significantly higher boiling point (approx. 285°C) and low volatility, which makes it suitable for high-temperature industrial processes and applications requiring a stable, non-evaporating medium. Ethanol has a much lower boiling point (approx. 78°C) and high volatility, meaning it would evaporate under these conditions.
