What Experts Are Saying About China Ethylene Glycol Market

Albany, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/21/2015 -- Ethylene glycol or ethylene alcohol is an organic compound mainly used in the manufacture polyethylene terephthalate and polyester fibers. Ethylene glycol is synthesized through various processes such as ethylene carbonate process, Halcon acetoxylatin process, Teijin oxychlorination process and hydrolysis of ethylene oxide among others. Hydrolosis of ethylene oxide is one of the most widely used process in the manufacturing of ethylene glycol. Monoethylene glycol (MEG) is one of the most widely used ethylene glycol in the industry. Diethylene glycol (DEG) and Triethylene glycol (TEG) are the coproducts that are obtained during the manufacture of monoethylene glycol. Monoethylene glycol is majorly consumed in the polyesters and resins. Asia Pacific region is one of the major manufacturer and consumer of ethylene across all regions. China is the major manufacturing hub for ethylene glycol across the globe. Currently, China implements traditional processes for the production of ethylene glycol.
