Product Specifications

Triethylene Glycol is an organic compound with the chemical formula C₆H₁₄O₄ and CAS Number 112-27-6. It is commonly supplied as a clear, colourless, odourless, hygroscopic liquid with a relatively high boiling point. It is highly soluble and miscible with water and many polar organic solvents.

Triethylene Glycol is valued for its solvent properties, low volatility, and ability to absorb moisture. Common laboratory applications include chemical preparation, solvent formulation, analytical chemistry procedures, sample preparation, and research involving glycol-based compounds. It is also used in specialised chemical formulations, natural gas dehydration, humectant applications, and various industrial processes.

Its physical and chemical properties make Triethylene Glycol useful in analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, material science, and general laboratory research. Different grades and purities are available, and the appropriate grade should be selected according to the requirements of the intended application.

KSFE Malaysia supplies laboratory chemicals and scientific products for research institutions, educational facilities, and general laboratory applications.

Safety Note: Triethylene Glycol generally has relatively low acute toxicity compared with some other glycol compounds. However, ingestion and excessive exposure should be avoided. Direct contact may cause mild irritation to the eyes and skin in sensitive individuals. Handle it using appropriate personal protective equipment in a suitable, well-ventilated area. Avoid unnecessary contact and follow the supplier's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for proper handling, storage, and disposal.
