Ethylene glycol/MEG is also known as ethylene glycol, 1, 2-ethylenediol, or EG for short. Chemical formula is (CH2OH)2, is the simplest dihydric alcohol. Glycol is colorless, odorless, sweet liquid, low toxicity to animals, glycol can be mutually soluble with water, but in the ether class solubility is small. Used as solvent, antifreeze and synthetic polyester raw materials. The polymer of ethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol (PEG), is a phase transfer catalyst and is also used in cell fusion.

Ethylene Glycol is an important organic compound with the chemical formula CHO, commonly known as ethane-1,2-diol. It is a colorless, odorless, and sweet-tasting viscous liquid. Due to its unique properties, ethylene glycol is widely utilized across various industries.
Key Properties:
Boiling Point: Approximately 197.3 C (388.1 F)
Melting Point: -12.9 C (8.8 F)
Density: About 1.11 g/cm
Monoethylene glycol (MEG) is a colorless, odorless, and slightly viscous organic compound widely used in various industries. Primarily known for its role as an essential component in the production of polyester fibers, resins, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastics, MEG serves as a crucial raw material in the manufacture of textiles, packaging materials, and plastic bottles. Additionally, its properties as a coolant and antifreeze make it a common ingredient in automotive and industrial applications, preventing freezing and overheating in engines and mechanical systems. MEG's versatility, solubility, and ability to lower the freezing point of water have established it as a vital compound in diverse sectors, from manufacturing to engineering.
MEG is a clear, colourless, virtually odourless, and slightly viscous liquid. It is miscible with water, alcohols, and many organic compounds, and has the molecular formula C2H6O2, CAS: 107-21-1. It has a specific gravity of 1.115 and a flash point of 110°C.
Application: It is an important raw material for industrial applications. MEG is utilized in the manufacture of polyester (PET) resins, films, fibers, antifreezes, coolants, aircraft anti-icer and deicers and solvents.
It is also utilized as raw material for paper industry, polyester Resins, adhesives and inks, chemical Intermediates, Heat Transfer, Fluids.
Ethylene glycol (IUPAC name: ethane-1,2-diol) is an organic compound with the formula (CH2OH)2. It is mainly used for two purposes, as a raw material in the manufacture of polyester fibers and for antifreeze formulations. It is an odorless, colorless, sweet-tasting, viscous liquid.
Ethylene glycol is a high-production-volume chemical; it breaks down in air in about 10 days and in water or soil in a few weeks.It enters the environment through the dispersal of ethylene glycol-containing products, especially at airports, where it is used in de-icing agents for runways and airplanes. While prolonged low doses of ethylene glycol show no toxicity, at near lethal doses(â?¥1000 mg/kg per day) ethylene glycol acts as a teratogen. "Based on a rather extensive database, it induces skeletal variations and malformations in rats and mice by all routes of exposure." This molecule has been observed in outer space.
