Instructions in using DEG ,TEG ,MEG
Instructions in using this chemical Ignition Non flammable Eye contact –Contact of diethylene glycol with the eye causes inflammation, eye irritation, eyelid inflammation but is notstable. -In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water -To prevent contact of this substance with the eyes, resistant safety glasses and face masks should be used Eating Eating ethylene glycol affects the central nerves and causes confusion. If swallowed, the stomach should be rinsed with water. This substance is also in the antifreeze of your car. It is cheap and looks extremely simple. It has a moderate level of toxicity, however its sweet taste can cause a person to consume it incorrectly and as a result ethylene glycol becomes a more dangerous oxalic acid due to metabolism. Keep this substance out of the reach of animals as they may confuse it with food. Death occurs slowly if a large amount…
Applications for Triethylene glycol
Oil and gas industry TEG is known for its high ability to absorb moisture from liquids. Technicians use TEG to dehydrate natural gas as well as other gases containing CO2 and H2SAs a result, during this operation, water is removed from the natural gas and the gas reaches the necessary standards for transmission in the pipeline. This process is essential to prevent the formation of hydrates at low temperatures and corrosion problems due to the presence of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. Textile industry Used as an air conditioning and lubricant for the production of many synthetic and natural fibers. Resins Triethylene glycols (TEG) and tetraethylene glycol (TETRA EG) as a resin-making agent and a modified ester in the manufacture of safety glass, separation membranes (eg, silicone rubbers, polyvinyl acetate, cellulose triacate) and Heat resistant ceramic materials are used. The high toxicity of DEG has led to the replacement of…
Triethylene glycol
What is TEG? Triethylen glycol (TEG) is a viscous and colorless compound and has the ability to absorb moisture from the surrounding materials. TEG is a liquid solvent and is known for its hygroscopic properties and ability to absorb moisture from liquids. This material as a common product of high temperature ethylene oxidation in the presence of silver oxide catalyst and then EO hydration is obtained from the ethylene glycol family to obtain mono, di and tri. This substance is from a series of dihydro homologues of alcohols. Due to its lower volatility and higher boiling point than monoethylene glycol (MEG) and diethylene glycol, it is widely used in dehumidification of natural gas. Triethylene glycol (TEG) is soluble in acetic acid, alcohols, glycerin and aldehydes, but in diethyl ether. Soluble in small amounts. TEG is insoluble in fats, oils and most hydrocarbons. Other similar compounds Ethylene glycol (EG) is the…
