What is Monoethylene Glycol?

Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) is a clear, syrup-like liquid derived primarily from ethylene oxide and water. Chemically denoted as HO–CH₂–CH₂–OH, it is classified as a diol (a molecule with two hydroxyl groups). MEG is valued for its high boiling point, full miscibility with water, and hygroscopic nature. These properties make it essential for processes involving heat transfer, moisture control, or polymer production.

Key Applications of Monoethylene glycol (MEG)

• Polyester & PET Production
  Roughly half of global MEG output is used as a starting monomer for polyester fibres, films, and PET beverage bottles. These materials are essential to the textile, packaging, and film industries.

• Automotive Antifreeze & Coolants
  MEG’s low freezing point and excellent heat-transfer properties make it the primary base fluid in engine coolants, radiator antifreeze, and HVAC brines, helping prevent corrosion and overheating.

• Heat-Transfer Fluids
  Industrial chillers, geothermal loops, and solar thermal systems rely on MEG solutions to move heat efficiently while resisting biological growth.

• Dehydrating Agent in Natural Gas
  In oil and gas operations, MEG extracts water vapour from natural-gas streams, preventing hydrate formation and pipeline blockages.

• Resins, Inks & Surfactants
  MEG acts as a reactive intermediate in manufacturing alkyd resins, latex paints, printing inks, and specialty surfactants.

• Humectant & Plasticiser
  Its ability to retain moisture improves flexibility and shelf life in adhesives, paper, and some personal-care formulations.
