INTRODUCTIONPrecautionsCarefully review our current Material Safety Data Sheets.Ethylene glycol can be toxic if ingested. To preventaccidental poisonings in humans and animals, pleaseensure proper storage and disposal of materials containingethylene glycol.About MEGlobalMEGlobal TM is a world leader in the manufacture andmarketing of merchant monoethylene glycol (MEG) anddiethylene glycol (DEG), collectively known as EG.Established in July 2004, the company is a joint venturebetween The Dow Chemical Company and PetrochemicalIndustries Company of Kuwait and is headquartered inLondon, England. MEGlobal produces about 1.0 millionmetric tons per year of EG, and markets in excess of 2.5million metric tons of EG per year. With approximately200 employees worldwide, MEGlobal serves customersaround the world.MEGlobal is committed to being the preferred and lowcostsupplier of MEG and DEG for customers worldwide.Doing Business With UsIn addition to our corporate offices in London, England,and our production facilities, we operate commercialservice locations in Hong Kong, Switzerland and theUnited States. Our knowledgeable, local professionalsare native to the regions they work in, so they speak yourlanguage, know your culture, and understand your needs.World-class technical service and support are availablethrough our highly trained sales representatives.Products and ApplicationsMEGlobal’s advanced manufacturing process is based onmore than 70 years of experience, and is characterizedby seamless integration, catalyst efficiency, and localaccess to feedstock. With our total approach to continuousimprovement in quality and quality systems, we fully meetthe stringent ISO 9001 series of standards, allowing us todeliver the high-quality products you require.Optimum performance demands a quality product, andthat is what we deliver. Our vast distribution system ofplants, terminals, tankers, barges, tankcars and truckshelps to ensure delivery of ethylene glycol and diethyleneglycol when and where you need it.Our MEG can be used for applications that requirechemical intermediates for resins, solvent couplers,freezing point depression, solvents, humectants andchemical intermediates. These applications are vital to themanufacture of a wide range of products, including resins;deicing fluids; heat transfer fluids; automotive antifreezeand coolants; water-based adhesives, latex paints andasphalt emulsions; electrolytic capacitors; textile fibers;paper and leather.The characteristics of our DEG products supplement ourMEG portfolio, augmenting our capabilities to includeapplications that require hygroscopicity, lubricants andlow volatility. Products that capitalize on these and otherDEG properties include plasticizers; glass- and cementgrindingaids; printing ink; drywall joint compound;thermoplastic polyurethanes and emulsifiers.For more information on our DEG products, please referto our MEGlobal Diethylene Glycol Product Guide.ServiceFor solutions to problems or answers to questions, takeadvantage of MEGlobal technical service and support,available through trained sales representatives. Yourorder of ethylene glycol will be processed expertly andquickly when you place a call to one of our many helpfulcustomer service representatives (See page 33).Ethylene Glycol 2
