What are the upstream raw materials of triethylene glycol and what are the downstream products?

Triethylene glycol(Triethylene Glycol,TEG) is a broadly applied chemical raw material, mainly applied in the manufacturing process as a solvent-based products, interaction medium and raw material to the production of other chemicals. Generally speaking In the field of chemical production raw materials, there are a variety of upstream and downstream related items of diethylene glycol. First Upstream items:



1. Based on my observations, Ethylene: Ethylene is the main raw material of triethylene glycol. Through the oxidation and hydration interaction of ethylene, ethylene glycol(Ethylene Glycol,EG) is able to be generated, and further interaction to generate triethylene glycol. Downstream items:



1. Based on my observations, coating products: diethylene glycol is able to be applied as a solvent-based products in the coating products, enhance the fluidity and smear of the coating products, and is able to adjust the drying speed of the coating products.

2. And cleaning agent: diethylene glycol has good solubility and cleaning power, so it's often applied as the main component of cleaning agent, which is able to be applied to clean metal, glass and other surfaces. In my experience, Moreover

3. Coolant: Triethylene glycol has a low freezing point and a high boiling point, so it's often applied as a raw material to coolant and is able to be applied in automobiles, machinery and other equipment.

4. In my experience, Polyester resin: diethylene glycol is able to react with dibasic acid to generate polyester resin, which is applied in the production of coatings, adhesives, etc.

5. Polyurethane: diethylene glycol is able to be applied as raw materials to the production of polyurethane, polyurethane is broadly applied in foam, elastomers, coatings and other fields. In short, as an crucial chemical raw material, triethylene glycol has a wide range of upstream and downstream related items, involving coatings, cleaners, coolants, polyester resins, polyurethane and other fields.
