Fiber Intermediates

1. Our suppliers are among the top 5 PTA producers in the world with a mammoth capacity of 5 MMTPA. Technologies are from Invista and Dupont. PTA was first introduced in 1965 as an alternative feedstock to Dimethyl Terephthalate (DMT) for the production of Polyester. By end of 1999, almost 85% of total world production was based on PTA and this continues to grow. 

• Polyester: –
• Today, PTA is the preferred raw material for Polyester which finds applications in all walks of life like clothing, furniture, upholstery, containers and films. Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) is a basic raw material for polyester. Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) reacts with Mono Ehtylene Glycol (MEG) to produce polyester.
• Textiles: Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) derivative, Polyester, is the largest synthetic fibre used in textiles.
• Packaging: Polyethylene Terephthalic (PET) films, sheet and molded containers for food packaging continue to grow in popularity. Light weight soft drink containers based on Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) are crystal clear and shatter proof. In addition, blister packaging for fresh and prepared food products is often based on Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA).
• Furnishing: Staple fiber made for polyester is also used in furniture application like cushions, upholstery etc.
• Consumer Goods: Apart from textiles, furnishing as detailed above, PET is used in films for audio and video recording tapes.
• Coatings: – Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) is used in the polyester component of environmentally compliant coating resins, including water soluble and powder systems.
• Resins: – Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) also finds applications in Unsaturated Polyester which are used as engineering plastics.
• Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) has also applications in Speciality Chemical Industries

1. Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) is a colorless, virtually odorless and slightly viscous liquid. It is miscible with water, alcohols, aldehydes and many organic compounds. MEG will not dissolve rubber, cellulose acetate or heavy vegetable and petroleum oils. MEG has a low volatility and it is 50% more hygroscopic than glycerol at room temperature.

   Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) is the most widely used chemical from the Glycol family. It is an essential raw material for Polyester fibres and Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) polymer. MEG based products are also used as coolants in Automobile antifreeze, resins, humectants for paper etc.

   MEG can be transported in Epoxy coated MS tankers. It can be stored in MS containers lined with baked phenolic resin / air drying epoxy phenolic resin or vinyl resin. It is advisable to store MEG in a cool, dry place with good ventilation – away from heat, sparks or flames.

Diethylene Glycol is a by-product in the manufacture of Monoethylene glycol produced by EO hydrolysis. Diethylene glycol is a colourless liquid with a high boiling point. DEG is practically odourless and sweetish to taste. It is considerably hygroscopic in nature. DEG is miscible with water, alcohol, ether, acetone but is insoluble in benzene and carbon tetrachloride.

Di-Ethylene Glycol is used in Unsaturated Polyester Resins, Coolants, Pesticides, Rubber Compounding, Plasticizer, Polyurethane Foams, Textile Auxiliaries, Polyethylene Glycols, Paints etc.

DEG can be transported in Epoxy coated MS tankers. It can be stored in MS containers lined with baked phenolic resin / air drying epoxy phenolic resin or vinyl resin. It is advisable to store DEG in a cool, dry place with good ventilation – away from heat, sparks or flames.

1.  MEG is primarily used in producing Polyester Yarns, Polyester Staple Fiber, PET resin & PET film. It is also used in anti-freeze and coolants, as well as in resins used as adhesives, surface coatings and enamels. 
2. DEG is used in making unsaturated polyester resins, polyester polyols, polyurethanes, cement grinding aids & plasticizers. 
3. TEG finds application mainly in the oil & gas industry as a dehumidifying agent. It is also used in manufacture of plasticizers and as an industrial solvent.

4. 1. Polyester

   Mono Ethylene Glycol is an essential raw material for Polyester. Ethylene Glycol reacts with PTA to produce polyester.

   2. Adhesives, Sealants and Coatings

   Mono Ethylene Glycol and D-Ethylene Glycol is used in latex based paint formulation. These glycols are also used to produce acrylate and methacrylate resins for coatings, adhesives, and paints.

   3. Alkyd Resins for Paints and Coatings

   Mono Ethylene Glycol is used as a reactant in the manufacture of Alkyd resins which are used in Paints, enamels and varnishes.

   4. Antifreeze

   Ethylene Glycol (MEG) is used as an active ingredient in engine coolants and antifreeze, offering benefits including a high boiling point, low vapor pressure, excellent heat transfer abilities, and the ability to depress the freezing point of water.

   5. Others

   A) Dyes & Inks

   MEG finds applications in products like Dyes & Inks for High speed printing.

   B) Humectants

5. DEG Applications 

6. Application :

   1. Unsaturated Polyester Resins
