Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) – Industrial Raw Material

🧪 CAS Number: 107-21-1

🌟 Product Description

Monoethylene glycol is a colorless, odorless, and viscous liquid. Due to its solvent properties, low freezing point, and hygroscopic nature, it is widely used in antifreeze production, polyester fibers, and various chemical processes. It is industrially produced by the hydrolysis of ethylene oxide.
