Glycol
We at Innova Global (India), have carved a niche in the industry by offering a superior quality of Glycols. We deals in mainly three derivatives of ethylene glycols — monoethylene glycol (MEG), diethylene glycol (DEG) and triethylene glycol (TEG).MEG is a colourless, odourless, non-volatile liquid. It is completely miscible in water and many organic solvents. The MEG manufactured is of minimum 99.5 per cent purity and meets the required UV transmittance values specified by polyester manufacturers.DEG is a stable, high-boiling, odourless and hygroscopic liquid, which is completely miscible in water.TEG is a colourless, odourless and stable liquid with low viscosity and a high boiling point. It is miscible in water and hygroscopic in nature. TEG is used as a dehydrating agent for natural gas, a solvent and lubricant in textile, dyeing and printing industries, as a plasticizer, as a raw material for the production of polyester resins, as humectants and is a constituent of hydralic fluids.
