Applications Packaging Storage & Handling
• Polyester/PET & resin manufacture (UPR, alkyds).
• Engine coolants/antifreeze, de‑icing fluids; heat transfer; humectant.
• 225–230 kg steel drums • 1,000 L IBCs.
• Flexitanks 21–24 MT • ISO/bulk tanks 20–25 MT.
• Not DG for transport; toxic if ingested. Avoid mist/vapors, provide ventilation; follow SDS for PPE.
• Hygroscopic — keep tightly closed; stainless/HDPE/PP compatible. Avoid strong oxidizers.
Representative specs. We align purity, water and DEG limits to your PET/polyester or coolant program. COA per lot; samples available.
