Applications

Ethylene glycol is widely utilized in research focused on

  • Antifreeze and Coolants: Commonly used in automotive and industrial applications, it lowers the freezing point of water, preventing engine freeze-ups and enhancing cooling efficiency.
  • Polymer Production: Serves as a key ingredient in the manufacture of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is used in plastic bottles and synthetic fibers, offering durability and lightweight properties.
  • Pharmaceuticals: Acts as a solvent and humectant in various medicinal formulations, improving the stability and effectiveness of active ingredients in products like cough syrups and topical creams.
  • De-icing Solutions: Employed in de-icing products for roads and aircraft, it effectively melts ice and snow, ensuring safer travel conditions during winter months.
  • Heat Transfer Fluids: Used in heating and cooling systems, it efficiently transfers heat, making it ideal for applications in HVAC systems and industrial processes.
