Mono-Ethylene -Glycol or MEG - is a vital ingredient for the production of polyester fibres and film, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins and engine coolants.

MEG is produced from ethylene via ethylene oxide, which in turn is hydrated by using either a thermal or catalytic production process.

End uses for MEG range from clothing and other textiles, through packaging to kitchenware, engine coolants and antifreeze. Polyester and fleece fabrics, upholstery, carpets and pillows, as well as light and sturdy polyethylene terephthalate drink and food containers originate from ethylene glycol. The humectant (water attracting) properties of MEG products also make them ideal for use in fibres treatment, paper, adhesives, printing inks, leather and cellophane.

Cosmos Energy supports the sale of MEG for use in the traditional standard industrial applications.
