Description

Application
It serves primarily as the main ingredient in automotive antifreeze and coolant mixtures due to its low freezing point when diluted and is also used in polyester fiber production heat transfer fluids and as a solvent in paints and inks.

Purpose
Its key purpose is to lower the freezing point and raise the boiling point of water-based solutions for engine protection against overheating and freezing while enabling chemical synthesis for polymers like PET plastics.

General Description
Ethylene glycol is a colorless odorless viscous liquid organic compound with the formula HOCH2CH2OH (C2H6O2) known for its sweet taste high boiling point of about 197C and complete miscibility with water.
