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.
