Key Facts
Primary Use Cases
Product Code: KIC-SOL-005
Also known as: Mono Ethylene Glycol, MEG, Ethylene Glycol, 1,2-Ethanediol
Synonyms: EG, Glycol, Monoethylene Glycol
High-purity Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG 99.8%) for engine coolants, antifreeze formulations, polyester PET resin synthesis, and heat transfer fluids in Kenya and East Africa.
Available Packaging
Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) is a clear, colorless, virtually odorless viscous liquid with low volatility and high hygroscopicity. Widely utilized in East Africa as a primary raw material for manufacturing radiator coolants, industrial heat transfer fluids, polyester fibers, and PET resin bottles.
High-purity glycol containing 99.8% min 1,2-Ethanediol, ≤0.1% water, low diethylene glycol (DEG ≤0.05%), and low iron. Excellent freezing point depression properties when mixed with water.
Contact sales for drum, IBC, or bulk tanker delivery to automotive coolant and polyester plants.
Commercial Sectors
Automotive assembly, commercial fleet workshops, and radiator shops require uncompromising chemical performance—from battery electrolytes and monoethylene glycol coolants to heavy solvent degreasers that slice through road tar and diesel grime. KIKI'S supplies technical chemicals that keep East Africa's vehicles moving.
Chemical manufacturing and toll blending in Kenya demand consistent raw material assay, repeatable reaction kinetics, and uninterrupted containerized bulk supply. From concentrated inorganic acids and solid caustic alkalis to high-flashpoint solvents, KIKI'S is the primary raw material partner for East African chemical formulators.
In manufacturing clusters across Nairobi, Athi River, and Baba Dogo, continuous production depends on reliable supply of process chemicals, boiler water conditioners, and high-flashpoint cleaning solvents. A production stoppage caused by boiler scale or a missing raw material costs millions of shillings per hour. KIKI'S provides the reliable chemical supply that keeps Kenyan manufacturing plants operating at peak output.
Kenya's paints, decorative coatings, and wood finish manufacturing industry requires pure virgin solvents, high-brightness extender pigments, and specialized coalescing aids. A formulation is only as good as its raw materials: low-purity thinners cause pinholing and blushing, while coarse fillers destroy gloss and opacity. KIKI'S supplies premium solvents, extenders, and binders to East Africa's leading paint makers.
Process Compatibility
Hygroscopic organic liquid. Store in sealed steel drums, HDPE containers, or stainless steel tanks in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from strong oxidizers and heat sources.
Harmful if swallowed (GHS Category 4). May cause kidney damage through prolonged or repeated ingestion. Wear nitrile gloves and safety glasses during liquid transfer.
Ingestion: Never induce vomiting unless directed by medical staff. Rinse mouth and seek medical attention immediately.
