Metabolite Identification
Common NameTetraethylene glycol
DescriptionTetraethylene glycol, also known as 2,2’-[oxybis(2,1-ethanediyloxy)]bisethanol or 3,6,9-trioxaundecan-1,11-diol, is classified as a member of the polyethylene glycols. It is an industrial solvent/chemical with a higher boiling point and lower volatility than the lower ethylene glycols. It is especially useful in polyester resins and as a plasticizer. Tetraethylene glycol is also used as a chemical intermediate and as a solvent in the production of inks and dyes. It is often used as a process solvent in hydrocarbon purification processes and as a coupling agent in the production of textile lubricants and formulations. Tetraethylene glycol is a non-carcinogenic (not listed by IARC) potentially toxic compound. (ChemoSummarizer)
