Monoethylene glycol (MEG) is a raw material for polyester. Most of it reacts with PTA to make polyester fibre for clothing and PET bottle resin; some is used in antifreeze.
China is the world's largest MEG consumer. Supply comes from oil-based (ethylene) plants, China's distinctive coal-based MEG plants and imports from the Middle East and elsewhere. Port inventories in East China (Zhangjiagang and nearby) are a key price signal, and MEG futures trade on the Dalian Commodity Exchange.
