Polyalkylene glycols

The term "Polyalkylene glycol" covers an extensive range of polymeric molecules which, depending on chemical structure, can exhibit quite different physical properties.
They are produced by reacting compounds containing active hydrogen atoms (alcohols, water, amines, ...) with alkylene oxides (commonly used oxides are ethylene and propylene oxides).
Their inherent chemical and physical properties make them suitable for a large number of engineering and/or lubrication applications :

• - aqueous quenching fluids
• - fire resistant hydraulic fluids
• - brake fluids
• - industrial gear oils and greases
• - metal working fluids
• - compressor lubricants
• - heat transfer fluids
• - demoulding agents
• - textile lubricants
