Diethylene glycol (DEG) transport
Industrial general cargo, in bulk, in stainless steel.
TRESAL (Transportes Especializados del Altiplano, S. de R. L. de C. V.) transports diethylene glycol (DEG) 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 diethylene glycol (DEG) and what is it used for?
Diethylene glycol (DEG) is a clear, hygroscopic, odorless liquid derived from ethylene oxide. It is a strictly industrial solvent and chemical intermediate.
Uses and sectors of DEG
DEG is a widely used intermediate and solvent in the chemical industry:
- Unsaturated polyester resins and polyurethane systems.
- Solvent for inks, dyes and resins.
- Antifreeze and automotive fluids.
- Gas dehydration and plasticizers.
- Humectant in industrial adhesives and sealants.
How is DEG safely transported in bulk?
DEG is moved in a stainless steel tank truck, in a dedicated unit, without consolidating third-party freight, to prevent cross-contamination. 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
Is diethylene glycol suitable for food or pharmaceuticals?
No. DEG is strictly industrial and must not be used in contact with food or in pharmaceutical products. TRESAL transports it for industrial applications only.
Which tank is used to transport DEG in bulk?
A stainless steel tank truck, in a dedicated unit and with documented washing between shipments. Monoethylene glycol (MEG) is the most common related glycol.
