Ethylene is a colorless and flammable gas with the chemical formula C2H4, representing one of the simplest hydrocarbon compounds with a double bond between carbon atoms. It is a natural plant hormone responsible for regulating various growth and developmental processes in plants, including ripening and flowering. Ethylene has significant industrial importance, as it is widely used in the production of plastics, particularly polyethylene, which is one of the most commonly used plastics worldwide. It also finds application in the chemical industry for the synthesis of various organic compounds. Ethylene's dual role in plant biology and industrial chemistry highlights its importance in both the natural world and human technology.

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.
The major use of ethylene glycol is as an antifreeze agent in the coolant in for example, automobiles and air-conditioning systems that either place the chiller or air handlers outside or must cool below the freezing temperature of water. In the plastic industry, ethylene glycol is an important precursor to polyester fibers and resins. Ethylene glycol is used in the natural gas industry to remove water vapor from natural gas before further processing. Minor uses of ethylene glycol include the manufacture of capacitors, as a chemical intermediate in the manufacture of 1,4-dioxane, as an additive to prevent corrosion in liquid cooling systems for personal computers, and inside the lens devices of cathode-ray tube type of rear projection televisions.
