Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether usually these artifacts are badly deteriorated by marine insects or various bacteria and decay organisms that dissolve much of the carbohydrate portion of the wood and leave mainly the resistant lignin. When these partially decomposed wooden artifacts are exposed to drying they break down into fragments or become dust.

X-ray structural analysis has shown that Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether chain may possess two different types of microstructure. The shorter chains, with a degree of polymerization not exceeding 10, are said to have a zigzag structure, while longer chains form a so-called meandering structure.
The oxygen forms ether bridges at regular intervals in both types of chain which are responsible for many of the properties of Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether. The microstructure of Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether molecular chains is important in relation to the behaviour of Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether towards various solvents and also to the formation of addition compounds which link with the “residual valencies” of the ether oxygen atoms.
Although technically these products should be called polyethylene oxides, for products with mean molecular weights of 200 to 35000, the term Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is normally used to indicate the significant influence of the hydroxyl end groups on the chemical and physical properties of these molecules. Only products made by polymerization of ethylene oxide in solvents, with molecular weights up to several millions, are called polyethylene oxides.
As an abbreviation for polyglycols, the term Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is used, in combination with a numerical value. Within the pharmaceutical industry, the number indicates the mean molecular weight, whereas in the cosmetic industry the number refers to the number (n) of EO-units in the molecule. Since the molecular weight of ethylene oxide is 44, the average molecular weight values of Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether are given as round values of n*44.
Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether with a mean molecular weight up to 400 are non-volatile liquids at room temperature. Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether shows a melting range of about 17 to 22°C, so Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether may be liquid at room temperature but pasty at lower ambient temperatures, while Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether with 800 to 2000 mean molecular weight are pasty materials with a low melting range.
Above a molecular weight of 3000, the polyethylene glycols are solids and are available not only in flaked form but also as powder. Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether up to a molecular weight of 35000 are commercially available. The hardness of Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether increases with increasing molecular weight, however the melting range goes up to a maximum value of about 60°C.
The most important property of all Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is their solubility in water, making them ideally suited for use in countless different applications. Liquid Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether is miscible with water in any ratio.
But even solid Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether grades have excellent solubility in water. AlthoughTriethylene Glycol Monoethyl Etherfalls slightly with increasing molar mass, even 50% (w / w) of a Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether can be dissolved. The solubility and viscosity of the solutions is not affected by the presence of electrolytes, since Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether are nonionic substances. Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether are quite soluble in hard water or in other aqueous solutions of various salts.
Some physical and chemical properties are described in more detail in the following chapters.The surface tension of the liquid Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether 200 to 600 is about 47 mN/m at room temperature. There is only a slight difference in the surface tension of liquid and solid Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether in aqueous solutions; a 10% solution of Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether has a value of 64 mN/m, while a 10% solution of Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether has a value of about 60 mN/m at 20°C.
Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether possess no characteristic surfaceactive properties and can therefore not be included in the class surfactants. Nevertheless, they frequently prove to be useful dispersing agents or solubilizers. Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Etheris not possible to give an HLB value for Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether.When liquid Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether are mixed with water, a volume contraction takes place. When equal parts by weight Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether and water are mixed together, this contraction amounts to about 2.5%.
At the same time a marked heat effect occurs. The temperature rise taking place when equal parts by weight Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether and water are mixed is about 12°C for PEG 200 and about 14°C for Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether. Even solid Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether grades have excellent solubility in water. For example, 75 parts by weight of Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether can be dissolved at room temperature in only 25 parts by weight water.
Although the solubility in water falls slightly with increasing molar mass,Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Etherdoes not fall below 50% even in the case of PEG 35000. The dissolving process can be greatly accelerated by heating about the melting point. Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether exhibit nonionic behaviour in aqueous solution. They are not sensitive to electrolytes and are therefore also compatible with hard water. Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether are non-volatile, a factor of consider able importance in connection with their use as plasticizers and humectants.
If a certain weight loss is established despite the non-volatility of Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether when maintained at a constant temperature of 150°C and above (e.g. when used as heating bath liquids), this is due not to evaporation but to loss of volatile products of decomposition.The breakdown products of Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether may vary, depending on the ingress of air; apart from water, carbon dioxide and aldehydes, simple alcohols, acids and glycol esters are formed. Troublesome fumes from decomposition products have not been known to have an adverse effect on health. Since the lower Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether grades are hygroscopic, moisture may be reabsorbed in the case of fairly long down times. At temperatures above 100°CTriethylene Glycol Monoethyl Etheris essential to add a suitable antioxidant to Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether. The type an quality of antioxidant is governed by the requirements imposed on Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether.
Thus, not only the temperature and dwell time but also the physiological properties of the antioxidant and Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether solubility or insolubility in water must be taken into consideration. Where exposure to high thermal stress is involved, up to 3% antioxidant should be added.The liquid Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether grades are hygroscopic,although not to the same extent as diethylene glycol or glycerol for example. The ability to absorb water decreases with increasing molar mass. A rule of thumb is; with a relative humidity of about 50% Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether 200 has about ¾ of the hygroscopicity of glycerol.
Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether and higher grades are no longer hygroscopic. Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether take moisture from the air until an equilibrium is reached. By plotting the water content of the substance in the equilibrium state as a function of the relative humidity, absorption isotherm is obtained. The moisture absorption of lower glycols such as monoethylene glycol, diethylene glycol or 1,2-ropylene glycol corresponds roughly to that of glycerol.
