Application
It is not only used as a plasticizer for vinyl, but also used in Air-Sanitizer products.
When aerosolized, it acts as a disinfectant.
Additionally, Triethylene glycol is also used as liquid desiccants for natural gas and in air conditioning systems.
Furthermore, it is an additive for hydraulic fluids and brake fluids and used as a base for "smoke machine" fluid in the entertainment industry.
