Triethylene glycol (TEG) is a clear, odorless and hygroscopic liquid at room temperature. It is used as a coalescing agent in paints and as a dehydrating agent for natural gas. TEG also finds applications as a solvent, lubricant, plasticizer and in the production of polyester resins and polyols. The document provides specifications for TEG such as its density, humidity level, boiling point and viscosity.
