Key Applications & End-Use Segments
Trimethylolpropane Trioleate (TEG) is the preferred choice where high thermal stability, excellent lubricity, and eco-friendly biodegradability are required. Typical end-use segments include:
1. Fire-Resistant Hydraulic Fluids (HFDU)
Our TEG 46 and 68 are the gold standard for ISO 46 and ISO 68 hydraulic oils. Used in steel mills, mining, and die-casting, these esters provide a high flash point (>300°C) to prevent industrial fires while maintaining superior wear protection.
2. Metalworking & Rolling Oils
TEG 68 is engineered for high-pressure environments. It is a critical additive in steel and aluminum cold-rolling fluids, offering a polar film that reduces friction, prevents welding, and improves the final surface finish.
3. Eco-Friendly Lubricants & Greases
For Total Loss Lubrication (TLL) applications in forestry, marine, and agriculture, our biodegradable TEG grades ensure that environmental leakage is naturally processed without soil or water toxicity.
4. High-End Cosmetics & Personal Care
TEG 38 serves as a premium emollient. Its unique skin-compatibility and "non-greasy" feel make it an ideal vegetable-based replacement for mineral oils in luxury creams, lotions, and sunscreens.
5. Specialized 68-LS (Low Smoke / Low Saponification)
The NavXport 68-LS grade is refined for maximum oxidative stability and low volatility. It is the preferred choice for high-temperature chain oils and turbine lubricants where preventing carbon deposits and smoke is vital.
Packaging, Handling & Documentation
Triethylene Glycol (TEG) is a stable, non-hazardous liquid. However, due to its high hygroscopicity, NavXport utilizes specialized packaging and moisture-sealed logistics to ensure the product maintains its <0.1% water-content specification upon arrival at your facility.
Packaging Options
- Bulk ISO Tanks: 20-25 MT capacity for large-scale natural gas dehydration units.
- IBC Containers: 1,000L Intermediate Bulk Containers for mid-range industrial use.

- Flexitanks: Cost-effective bulk liquid transport for non-hazardous glycol grades.
Handling & Storage
- Moisture Control: Store in tightly sealed containers; TEG is highly hygroscopic and absorbs atmospheric water.
- Temperature: Maintain in a cool, dry environment. Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures above 40°C.
- Materials: Compatible with Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel, and HDPE. Avoid Zinc or Galvanized iron.
- Safety: Non-flammable for transport, but use standard industrial PPE to prevent skin/eye contact.

Quick Inquiry – Triethylene Glycol (TEG)
International Procurement FAQ – Triethylene Glycol (TEG)
What is Triethylene Glycol (TEG) and its primary industrial role?
Triethylene Glycol (TEG) is a colorless, odorless, non-volatile liquid within the glycol family (CAS 112-27-6). Unlike industrial lubricants, TEG is primarily prized for its high hygroscopicity, making it the global industry standard for removing water vapor from natural gas streams and air conditioning systems.
What are the shipping, hazard, and HS Code details for TEG?
Triethylene Glycol is classified as Non-Hazardous and is not regulated for international transport (IMDG/IATA). It has a high flash point (~165°C-177°C), which allows for safe shipping in ISO Tanks, Flexibags, or IBCs without dangerous goods protocols. The verified HS Code is 29053990.
Which industries commonly procure bulk Triethylene Glycol (TEG)?
The primary users are the Oil & Gas industry (for Glycol Dehydration Units), the Petrochemical sector (as a plasticizer intermediate), and the Textile industry (as a humectant and softener). It is also used as a specialized solvent in printing inks and as a liquid desiccant in industrial HVAC systems.
How does NavXport ensure the purity required for Gas Dehydration?
For dehydration units (GDUs), TEG must be nearly anhydrous. NavXport supplies TEG with a guaranteed purity of ≥99.5% and a maximum water content of 0.1%. Every batch is verified via Karl Fischer titration and comes with a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA).
Can NavXport support large-scale ISO Tank exports from India?
Yes. We specialize in coordinating bulk movements exceeding 20-25 Metric Tons via ISO Tanks and Flexitanks. Our logistics team handles the complex documentation required for seamless customs clearance in major hubs like Jebel Ali, Houston, Rotterdam, and Singapore.
How do I request a quote for a specific industrial grade?
To provide an accurate quote, please specify your required purity (Standard vs. High-Purity), preferred packaging (Drums, IBC, or ISO Tank), and the destination port. Our technical team can also help you align specs if you require specialized parameters for polyester resin or plasticizer production.
