Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG), a versatile chemical compound derived from ethylene oxide, plays a vital role in various industries. Often referred to simply as MEG, it's a colorless, odorless, and slightly viscous liquid with a sweet taste (though not for human consumption!). MEG's unique properties – including its ability to absorb moisture, act as an antifreeze, and serve as a solvent – make it a critical ingredient in a wide range of products.
Here's a deeper dive into some of MEG's key properties and their industrial applications:
• Hygroscopicity: MEG's ability to absorb moisture from the surrounding air makes it a valuable desiccant. Desiccants are hygroscopic materials used in various industrial processes to remove moisture from air or gases. This moisture removal helps prevent corrosion, clumping, or spoilage of sensitive materials. For example, MEG is used in desiccant packs placed in electronic packaging to absorb moisture and prevent damage to delicate components. Desiccants are also used in food and pharmaceutical production to maintain the quality and shelf life of products by controlling moisture content.
According to our publisher’s latest study, the global Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) market size was valued at US$ 28070 million in 2023. With growing demand in downstream market, the Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 46160 million by 2030 with a CAGR of 7.4% during review period.
