Ethylene Glycol (EG), a fundamental organic compound with the chemical formula (CH2OH)2, is a cornerstone of many industrial processes. Its unique blend of properties – including excellent solvency, low toxicity, and effective antifreeze capabilities – makes it indispensable in sectors ranging from automotive and textiles to chemical manufacturing. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is dedicated to supplying high-quality Ethylene Glycol, ensuring our clients have access to this versatile chemical for their critical applications.

Key Properties of Ethylene Glycol

Ethylene Glycol is a clear, colorless, odorless, and slightly viscous liquid. It possesses a sweet taste, which, unfortunately, can be a hazard if ingested, necessitating careful handling and storage. Its hygroscopic nature means it readily absorbs moisture from the air. Critically, EG is highly soluble in water and acetone, and moderately soluble in alcohols, but less so in ethers. Its chemical structure, with two hydroxyl groups, makes it reactive and suitable for a wide range of chemical syntheses. With a boiling point of 197.3°C and a melting point of -12.9°C, its physical properties are well-suited for thermal management applications. Our industrial-grade EG boasts a purity of ≥99.0%, ensuring optimal performance for all its applications.

Diverse Industrial Applications

The applications of Ethylene Glycol are broad and impactful:

• Polyester Production: EG is a primary raw material in the synthesis of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins and polyester fibers. These materials are fundamental to the textile industry for clothing and home furnishings, as well as to the packaging industry for bottles and containers.
• Antifreeze and Coolants: Its ability to significantly lower the freezing point and raise the boiling point of water makes EG the most common ingredient in automotive antifreeze and industrial coolants. This ensures the efficient operation of engines and machinery across varying temperatures.
• Heat Transfer Fluids: In industrial cooling systems, EG acts as an effective heat transfer medium, facilitating efficient temperature regulation.
• Solvents: EG serves as a versatile solvent for dyes, inks, and in the formulation of various chemical products.
• Chemical Intermediates: It is a precursor for synthesizing other chemicals like glyoxal, surfactants, and alkyd resins used in coatings.

Safety and Handling Considerations

While Ethylene Glycol is considered to have low toxicity in comparison to some other industrial chemicals, it is crucial to handle it with care. Ingestion can lead to severe health consequences, including kidney damage. Therefore, proper storage in sealed containers, away from children and pets, and adherence to safety protocols during handling and use are paramount. For procurement managers and R&D scientists, ensuring safe handling practices alongside obtaining high-quality materials is essential.
