CAS: 112-27-6
Triethylene glycol 99.9% (CAS:112-27-6)The IUPAC name of Triethylene glycol is 2-[2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy]ethanol. With the CAS registry number 112-27-6, it is also named as 2,2'-(1,2-Ethanediylbis(oxy))bisethanol. The product's categories are ethylene glycol; ethylene glycols; ethylene glycols & monofunctional ethylene glycols. It is colorless, odorless, viscous and hygroscopic liquid which is miscible with water and ethanol, slightly soluble in ether, almost insoluble in petroleum ether. It is slightly toxic and combustible. Additionally, Triethylene glycol is non-corrosive to metal and do not react with the majority plastic and rubber. When not use, it should sealed in the container which must placed in the cool and dry aera.
Application industries:
· triethylene glycol is a solvent prepared from ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol.Triethylene glycol can be used:To prepare fatty acid gelators, which are used to gelate various edible and vegetable oils.As a solvent to prepare superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles for in situ protein purification.As an absorbent agent in the subsea natural gas dehydration process.
· In various plastics to increase pliability; in air disinfection.
· Triethylene glycol is used as a plasticizer, as an additive for hydraulic fluids and brake fluids, and as a disinfectant. It is an active component of certain pigments, printing dyes, inks and paste. It finds application as a liquid desiccant and used in the dehydration of natural gas, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and air conditioning systems. It plays as an important role in anti-freeze and de-icing products, cleaning and furnishing care products, lubricant and greases.
· Triethylene glycol is widely used as an excellent dehydrating agent for natural gas, oilfield associated gas and carbon dioxide; Used as solvent for nitrocellulose, rubber, resin, grease, paint, pesticide, etc; Used as air bactericide; Used as triethylene glycol ester plasticizer for PVC, polyvinyl acetate resin, glass fiber and asbestos pressing board; Used as anti drying agent of tobacco, fiber lubricant and desiccant of natural gas; It is also used in organic synthesis, such as the production of brake oil with high boiling point and good low temperature performance. It can be used in gas chromatography as extractant.
