Buy Tri Ethylene Glycol in Bulk, Drums & IBCs – Technical Grade for Gas Processing and Heat Exchange
Rotterdam Chemicals Group supplies Tri Ethylene Glycol (TEG), a highly hygroscopic glycol used primarily in natural gas dehydration, as well as in solvents, coolants, and chemical formulations. We offer REACH-compliant TEG from our Rotterdam facility in bulk and packaged formats.
What is Tri Ethylene Glycol?
Tri Ethylene Glycol (CAS 112-27-6) is a colorless, viscous liquid with excellent hygroscopic and solvent properties. It is widely used in gas dehydration systems to remove water vapor from natural gas streams. TEG also finds applications in specialty solvents, heat transfer fluids, and plasticizer production.
