Monoethylene Glycol
CAS 107-21-1C2H6O262.07 g/mol
Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) is a clear, colorless, odorless liquid used primarily as a chemical intermediate in the production of polyester resins and textile fibers such as PET. It is also a key component in antifreeze formulations, engine coolants, and heat-transfer fluids, essential for HVAC and refrigeration systems. Known for its high purity levels, ranging from 99.8% to 99.9%, MEG is a versatile industrial chemical critical to various applications, including deicing and as a raw material for solvents and surfactants.

Monoethylene Glycol (C2H6O2), with a molecular weight of approximately 62.07 g/mol, is a slightly viscous liquid known for its high purity and effectiveness in various industrial applications. Its clear, colorless appearance and non-odorous nature make it a suitable choice for industries requiring consistent quality and performance. Due to its hygroscopic nature, MEG is widely used as a feedstock for producing polymers, such as PET, and as a base fluid for antifreezes and coolants. Its miscibility with water and other organic compounds enhances its functionality in chemical synthesis and formulation processes.

Frequently asked questions
What is the CAS number of Monoethylene Glycol?
The CAS registry number for Monoethylene Glycol is 107-21-1. Its chemical formula is C2H6O2, with a molecular weight of 62.07 g/mol. Quote this number when requesting a quotation or checking documentation, as it identifies the substance unambiguously regardless of the trade name used.
What are the other names for Monoethylene Glycol?
Monoethylene Glycol is also referred to as MEG, Ethylene Glycol, 1 and 2-Ethanediol. These names describe the same substance, so a specification or enquiry written against any of them can be matched to this product.
What grade of Monoethylene Glycol is supplied?
Monoethylene Glycol is supplied as Industrial grade. State the grade your process requires when requesting a quotation — where an alternative grade can be sourced, it is confirmed at quotation stage rather than assumed.
What is the purity of Monoethylene Glycol?
The purity/assay figure recorded for Monoethylene Glycol is 99.8-99.9%. Figures are typical values for the grade supplied; the certificate of analysis for your specific batch is the authoritative record and can be provided on request.
What does Monoethylene Glycol look like?
Monoethylene Glycol is described as clear, colorless, odorless liquid. Appearance is a useful first check on receipt of goods, though it does not replace the certificate of analysis for confirming that the material meets specification.
What is Monoethylene Glycol used for?
Common applications include manufacture of polyester resins and textile fibers, automotive antifreeze and engine coolant, heat-transfer fluid in HVAC and refrigeration systems, raw material for solvents and surfactants and deicing agent in runway and aircraft formulations. The suitability of the product for a particular process depends on the grade and specification required, which is worth confirming against your own process conditions.
Which industries use Monoethylene Glycol?
Monoethylene Glycol is supplied to the Paints, Coatings & Inks, Textile & Leather Tanning and Oil, Gas & Energy sectors. These are the industries this product is listed against in our catalogue; if your application falls outside them, we can advise on suitability before you order.
What packaging is Monoethylene Glycol available in?
Available in 5 L to 1000 L formats. Where a different pack size or bulk delivery is required, it is confirmed at quotation stage against availability rather than listed here as standard.
What is the HS code for Monoethylene Glycol?
Monoethylene Glycol is recorded against the EC number 203-473-3 and the HS customs code 2905 31 00. Quote this on customs and export paperwork; it is confirmed again on the commercial invoice for your specific consignment.
