Description
Triethylene Glycol (TEG) — Hygroscopic Glycol for Gas Dehydration
Triethylene Glycol, commonly known as TEG (CAS 112-27-6), is a hygroscopic glycol widely used in natural gas dehydration, humectant applications, and plasticizer formulations. RightPath Industries supplies high-purity triethylene glycol for oil and gas, HVAC, and industrial manufacturing applications.
TEG is the industry-standard liquid desiccant for removing water vapor from natural gas streams in glycol dehydration units. Its high boiling point, low vapor pressure, and strong affinity for water make it ideal for continuous absorption-regeneration cycles.
