Ethylene Glycol 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 syrup. Ethylene glycol is moderately toxic.[3]
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.

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/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.
