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.

With pure MEG (mono-ethylene glycol) the hot spot will reach 200 C (392 F). Cooling by other effects such as air draft from fans (not considered in pure nucleation analysis) will assist in preventing large-bubble formation.
The mixture of ethylene glycol with water provides additional benefits to coolant and antifreeze solutions, such as preventing corrosion and acid degradation, as well as inhibiting the growth of most microbes and fungi.
