How does MEG protect car engine radiators?

Mixed 50/50 with water, MEG depresses the freezing point and elevates the boiling point (up to ~108°C), preventing engine overheating and coolant boil-over in heavy traffic.

Is MEG miscible with water?

Yes, MEG is completely miscible in all proportions with water, alcohols, and acetone.

What is the purity of Kiki's MEG?

Our Mono Ethylene Glycol is high-purity industrial grade with a minimum assay purity of 99.9% and ultra-low water content.

Where can I buy MEG in 230kg drums in Nairobi?

Kiki's Industrial Chemicals stocks MEG 99.9% in 230kg steel drums and 1,100kg IBC totes at our warehouse in Nairobi Industrial Area.

What is the difference between MEG and DEG (Diethylene Glycol)?

MEG has a lower molecular weight and boiling point (197°C), ideal for coolants and PET resin, whereas DEG has a higher boiling point (245°C) used in unsaturated polyester resins and gas drying.

Can MEG be used in industrial chiller cooling loops?

Yes, aqueous MEG solutions are used as secondary heat transfer fluids in brewery and dairy refrigeration cooling loops.

What safety precautions are required when handling MEG?

MEG is toxic if swallowed. Wear protective safety glasses, nitrile gloves, and store away from food and animal feed.

How should MEG steel drums be stored?

Store in original sealed steel drums in a cool, shaded warehouse. Because MEG is hygroscopic, keep drums tightly sealed.

Do you supply coolant manufacturers across Kenya?

Yes, we supply MEG drums to automotive coolant blenders, resin makers, and factories nationwide.

What packaging sizes are available?

We supply MEG 99.9% in 230kg sealed steel drums and 1,100kg IBC totes.

Do you export MEG to East Africa?

Yes, we ship MEG drums to industrial clients in Uganda, Tanzania, and Rwanda.
