Triethylene glycol is obtained as a by-product in the production of ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol.
Triethylene glycol is used as an extractant, solvent, and plasticizer for paint products, vinyl adhesives, and as a disinfectant. In the chemical industry, due to its high hygroscopicity, it is used as a liquid desiccant for natural
gas, as well as in air conditioning systems. Due to its low volatility, TEG can be used instead of diethylene glycol as a tobacco humidifier and as an additive for hydraulic and brake fluids, as a raw material in the production of oligoetheracrylates, polyetheracrylates, etc.

Triethylene glycol is stored in a corrosion-resistant stainless steel or plastic
hermetic container. The product is stored in
barrels in covered unheated warehouses. Barrels with triethylene glycol should be stored vertically. The height of the stack of barrels should not exceed three tiers.
The warranty period for the storage of higher triethylene glycol is one hour.
Packaging: 10, 20, 50, 200 liters.
