Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether (TEGEE), identified by its CAS number 112-50-5, is a chemical compound with diverse industrial applications, primarily valued for its solvent and coalescing properties. A thorough understanding of its chemical characteristics and safety protocols is crucial for any professional looking to buy or utilize this substance. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., as a reputable manufacturer and supplier, emphasizes the importance of informed usage.

Chemically, TEGEE is a glycol ether, a class of compounds known for their ability to solubilize both polar and non-polar substances. Its molecular formula is C8H18O4, and it possesses a relatively high boiling point of approximately 255°C and a melting point of -19°C, classifying it as a liquid at room temperature. A key characteristic to note is its potential to form explosive peroxides upon prolonged exposure to air, especially when impure or stored improperly. Therefore, it is advisable to check for peroxides before distillation or heating. TEGEE is also known to react with strong oxidizing agents, necessitating careful storage and handling procedures. As a supplier, we provide comprehensive safety data sheets (SDS) to guide safe handling and storage practices.

From a safety perspective, TEGEE is generally considered to have low acute toxicity but can cause skin irritation and serious eye irritation. Inhalation of vapors may cause respiratory irritation. Standard precautions, such as wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves, safety glasses, and adequate ventilation, are essential when working with TEGEE. The signal word associated with its hazard classification is 'Warning,' with hazard statements including H302 (Harmful if swallowed), H315 (Causes skin irritation), H319 (Causes serious eye irritation), and H335 (May cause respiratory irritation). Understanding these warnings is critical for anyone looking to purchase and use this chemical.
