Product Description
Ethylene glycol, CAS 107-21-1
Ethylene glycol, commonly known as monoethylene glycol (MEG) or 1,2-ethanediol, is a colorless, odorless, slightly viscous liquid with two hydroxyl groups. It is miscible with water and widely used as an industrial chemical intermediate. Its major applications include the manufacture of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyester fibers, as well as antifreeze and heat-transfer fluid formulations.
It is slightly sweet, with certain toxicity, low volatility, high flash point, hygroscopicity higher than glycerin, slightly soluble in ether, can be mixed with water in any proportion, can greatly reduce the freezing point of water.It turns yellow or brown when it contains iron impurities.

Applications of Ethylene Glycol
Ethylene glycol (MEG) is an important chemical raw material. Its main use is to produce polyester resin products (including polyester fiber, flim and PET bottles, etc.).
An anqueous solution of ethylene glycol can be used as automobile antifreeze. When water is added to ethylene glycol, the freezing point decreases. The melting point of the 58% (mass fraction) of aqueous solution of ethylene glycol is -48℃. Below or above this concentration, the freezing point will rise instead.
Ethylene glycol can also be used as an additive in the dye industry, tobacco industry and cosmetic lubricants.
