MEG (Monoethylene Glycol)
← Back to Chemicals
Monoethylene glycol (MEG) is a liquid, colorless, and non-flammable chemical compound that has various industrial applications. Its most important use is in the production of antifreeze for vehicles and industrial systems, as it lowers the freezing point of water. MEG is also used in the production of polyester and synthetic fibers, and as a solvent in chemical industries. This substance is not highly toxic, but prolonged skin contact or ingestion can be hazardous, so it should be handled with care.
