triethylene glycol Uses
Oil and gas industry:
The main use of triethylene glycol is based on its hygroscopic properties. This means that it can absorb moisture from the air through either absorption or adsorption. It is used as a dehydrating agent in natural gas pipelines, where it removes water from the gas prior to condensation. The triethylene glycol can then be continually reused, although care must be taken to dispose of the by-product benzene properly. This process is useful as it prevents the gas from freezing, making it easier to transport and manage for end consumers.
Mild disinfectant
Triethylene glycol can also be used as a mild disinfectant. Due to its low toxicity, antimicrobial properties and low odour, it is commonly used for air disinfection in occupied areas where more aggressive disinfectants cannot be used. Its disinfectant and dehydrating properties also make it an ideal dehumidifying agent in air-conditioning units.
Handling and Storage
Precautions for safe handling
NO open flames. Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Store the container tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Store apart from foodstuff containers or incompatible materials.
