Description
Ethylene glycol, also known as monoethylene glycol (MEG) or 1,2-ethanediol, is a clear, colorless, practically odorless, hygroscopic liquid that mixes readily with water. BVV’s polyester-grade ethylene glycol has a minimum MEG purity specification of 99.9% by weight.
Available Ethylene Glycol Grades:
Polyester/fibre grade: High-purity material with controls on water, acidity, color, and trace impurities that can affect polyester and PET manufacturing. BVV’s product is polyester grade with a minimum ethylene glycol purity specification of 99.9% by weight.
Industrial/technical grade: Material supplied for general industrial processing and formulation, with purity and impurity limits determined by the supplier’s specifications.
Antifreeze grade: Material supplied for manufacturing coolant and antifreeze formulations. The grade designation does not mean the material is a finished, ready-to-use coolant.
Laboratory/reagent grades: Material tested against published specifications for laboratory work, with defined limits on relevant impurities.
Specialty laboratory grades: These include anhydrous material, which emphasizes low water content, and spectrophotometric grade, which controls light-absorbing impurities that could interfere with optical measurements.
