Berryman Chemical Triethylene Glycol

Berryman Chemical Triethylene Glycol is a straight-chain dihydric alcohol aliphatic compound featuring hydroxyl groups at both ends. This clear, practically colorless, and odorless liquid is hygroscopic at room temperature. TEG shares similarities with diethylene glycol (DEG) but boasts a higher boiling point, viscosity, and specific gravity, making it ideal for applications requiring high boiling points and low volatility.

Chemical Name: Triethylene Glycol

CAS Number: 112-27-6

Triethylene Glycol (TEG) is a straight-chain dihydric alcohol aliphatic compound terminated on both ends by a hydroxyl group. It is a clear, practically colorless and odorless, hygroscopic liquid at room temperature. TEG is similar in properties to diethylene glycol (DEG), but has a higher boiling point, viscosity and specific gravity. It is used where high boiling point and low volatility are required.
