Monoethylene glycol (MEG) transport
General cargo, in bulk, in stainless steel tank trucks.
TRESAL (Transportes Especializados del Altiplano, S. de R. L. de C. V.) transports monoethylene glycol (MEG) in bulk in stainless steel tank trucks, with nationwide coverage from its bases in Cuautitlán Izcalli —part of the Greater Mexico City area— and San Luis Potosí. Every shipment travels in a dedicated unit with the traceability we give every shipment.
What is monoethylene glycol (MEG) and what is it used for?
Monoethylene glycol (MEG) is a colorless, nearly odorless, sweet-tasting liquid and one of the highest-volume chemical intermediates in the world. It is the main raw material for polyester and PET and the base component of antifreeze.
Uses and sectors of MEG
MEG is a strategic input for several industries:
- Polyester fiber and PET resin for packaging and textiles.
- Antifreeze and automotive fluids (coolants, brake fluid).
- Natural gas dehydration.
- Alkyd resins and unsaturated polyester resin (UPR).
- Humectants, agrochemicals and lubricant additives.
How is MEG safely transported in bulk?
MEG is moved in a stainless steel tank truck, in a dedicated unit. High-purity grades (fiber grade) require a clean, contamination-free tank, so a dedicated unit and documented washing are key to preserving quality. TRESAL delivers door to door. See our bulk chemical transport services and 304 vs. 316L stainless steel options.
Quality and cleaning between loads
Between loads we wash tank trucks with high-pressure hot water in a single pass, documenting every wash, to prevent cross-contamination and preserve product purity. We operate under ISO 9001:2015 and with criteria equivalent to the international tank-cleaning standard (EFTCO). More detail on our tank truck washing service.
Frequently asked questions
Which tank is used to transport monoethylene glycol in bulk?
A stainless steel tank truck, in a dedicated unit and with documented washing, especially for fiber grade, which demands high purity.
What is the difference between MEG and diethylene glycol (DEG)?
Both are glycols. MEG is the base intermediate for polyester and antifreeze; diethylene glycol (DEG) results from a further reaction with ethylene oxide and is used in resins and solvents.
