Basic information

Ethylene glycol (ethylene glycol) also known as "glycol", "1,2-ethylene glycol", referred to as EG. The chemical formula is (CH2OH)2, which is a simple diol. Ethylene glycol is a colorless, odorless, sweet-tasting liquid that is toxic to animals and lethal to humans at a dose of about 1.6 g/kg. Ethylene glycol can be miscible with water and acetone, but the solubility is small in ethers. Used as a solvent, antifreeze and synthetic polyester raw materials. Polyethylene glycol (PEG), a high polymer of ethylene glycol, is a phase transfer catalyst also used in cell fusion; its nitrate ester is an explosive.

Application areas

Mainly used for making polyester, polyester, polyester resin, hygroscopic agent, plasticizer, surfactant, synthetic fiber, cosmetics and explosives, and used as dyes, inks and other solvents, the preparation of engine antifreeze, gas dewatering agent, manufacturing resin, can also be used for cellophane, fiber, leather, adhesive wetting agent. It can produce synthetic resin PET, fiber grade PET is polyester fiber, and bottle grade PET is used to make mineral water bottles. Can also produce alkyd resin, glyoxal, etc., also used as antifreeze. In addition to being used as an antifreeze for automobiles, it is also used for the transportation of industrial cold. It is generally called a cold carrier. At the same time, it can also be used as a condensing agent like water.

Ethylene glycol methyl ether series products are excellent performance of organic solvents, as printing inks, industrial cleaning agents, coatings, copper clad laminates, printing and dyeing solvents and diluents; can be used for the production of pesticide intermediates, pharmaceutical intermediates and synthetic brake fluid and other chemical products raw materials; as electrolytic capacitors electrolyte, tannery chemical fiber dye. Used as textile auxiliaries, synthetic liquid dyes, as well as fertilizers and oil refining in the production of desulfurizer raw materials.

Packaging, transportation and safety

Packaging, storage and transportation

Packed in galvanized iron drums, 100Kg or 200Kg per barrel. Storage should be sealed, long-term storage to nitrogen seal, moisture-proof, fire-proof, anti-freezing. Storage and transportation shall be in accordance with the provisions of flammable chemicals.
