Triethylene glycol (CAS 112-27-6)
QUICK LINKS
Triethylene glycol (TEG) is a highly versatile chemical compound extensively utilized in numerous industrial and scientific applications. It is characterized by its colorless and odorless nature, as well as its non-flammability. Triethylene glycol exhibits excellent solubility in both water and most organic solvents, and it possesses hygroscopic properties, enabling it to absorb moisture from the surrounding air. Moreover, Triethylene glycol plays a role in scientific research, finding applications in various biological and biochemical studies. In vitro investigations examine its effects on cell cultures, enzymes, and proteins. Although the precise mechanism of action of Triethylene glycol remains incompletely understood, it is believed to exert its effects through multiple pathways. Triethylene glycol may function as a chelating agent, binding to metal ions and impeding their involvement in biochemical reactions. Additionally, it can act as a surfactant, reducing surface tension and enhancing the solubility of other compounds in water.
