Ethylene Glycol Dihydroxydiethyl Ether is a colourless, viscous, non-volatile liquid with the formula C6H14O4.  
Ethylene Glycol Dihydroxydiethyl Ether is well known for its hygroscopic quality and its ability to dehumidify fluids.

How is Ethylene Glycol Dihydroxydiethyl Ether produced?
Ethylene Glycol Dihydroxydiethyl Ether is prepared commercially as a co-product of the oxidation of ethylene at high temperature, in the presence of a silver oxide catalyst.  The ethylene oxide is then hydrated to yield mono, di, tri, and tetra ethylene glycols.
Ethylene Glycol Dihydroxydiethyl Ether is estimated that the total world consumption of TEG is in excess of 175 metric tonnes annually.

How is Ethylene Glycol Dihydroxydiethyl Ether stored and distributed?
Ethylene Glycol Dihydroxydiethyl Ether can be stored and transported in stainless steel, aluminium  or lined tank cars, tank trucks, or 225 kg drums.  It has a specific gravity of 1.125 and a flash point of 168 °C (closed cup) and is not classified for transport by road, sea, or rail.

What is Ethylene Glycol Dihydroxydiethyl Ether used for?
Oil & Gas Industry:
The main uses for Ethylene Glycol Dihydroxydiethyl Ether are based upon its hygroscopic quality. 
This means that Ethylene Glycol Dihydroxydiethyl Ether can absorb moisture from the air through absorption or adsorption. 

Ethylene Glycol Dihydroxydiethyl Ether is used as a dehydrating agent for natural gas pipelines where it removes the water from the gas before being condensed. 
The Ethylene Glycol Dihydroxydiethyl Ether can then be continually reused, although the by-product of benzene needs to be disposed of carefully. 
This process is useful as it prevents the gas from freezing making the gas easier to transport and manage for end consumers.

Mild Disinfectant:
Ethylene Glycol Dihydroxydiethyl Ether can also be used as a mild disinfectant. 
Due to its antimicrobial properties, and low odour, Ethylene Glycol Dihydroxydiethyl Ether is commonly used for air disinfection in occupied areas where more aggressive disinfectants cannot be used. 
Due to these disinfectant properties and the dehydrating properties, Ethylene Glycol Dihydroxydiethyl Ether is an ideal dehumidifying agent in air-conditioning units.
