triethylene glycol is a solvent prepared from ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol.
Triethylene glycol is a clear, colorless, viscous, stable liquid with a slightly sweetish odor. Soluble in water; immiscible with benzene, toluene, and gasoline. Combustible. Because it has two ether and two hydroxyl groups its chemical properties are closety related to ethers and primary alcohols. It is a good solvent for gums, resins, nitrocellulose, steam-set printing inks and wood stains. With a low vapor pressure and a high boiling point, its uses and properties are similar to those of ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol. Because it is an efficient hygroscopic agent it serves as a liquid desiccant for removing water from natural gas. It is also used in air conditioning systems designed to dehumidify air.
This chemical is included in Fine Chemicals. See more about what is Triethylene glycol and Triethylene glycol SDS information.
