Product Description
Ethylene glycol (EG) is a commonly used diol-based organic chemical raw material characterized by high hygroscopicity, a low freezing point, excellent solubility, and chemical stability. It is primarily used in the synthesis of polyester resins, automotive antifreeze, central air conditioning refrigerants, industrial solvents, humectants, additives for coatings and inks, and as an intermediate in organic synthesis.
For detailed information on the physical and chemical properties of EG, see 【Addition information】
Main Applications
1. Antifreeze and Refrigerants
• A key raw material in formulations for automotive antifreeze, industrial cooling water, and central air conditioning antifreeze and corrosion inhibitors.
2.Polyester Industry
• Used in the production of polyester fibers, PET polyester chips, bottle-grade chips, and resin raw materials—core raw materials for the synthetic fiber industry.
3. Coatings and Inks Industry
• Used as solvents for water-based coatings and inks, film-forming aids, and antifreeze and moisture-retaining agents.
4.Personal Care and Textiles
• Used as moisturizers, lubricants, textile auxiliaries, softeners, and hygroscopes.
5.Fine Chemicals Synthesis
Serves as an intermediate in the production of ethanolamines, ethers, esters, resins, adhesives, and other products.
6.Other Applications
• Leather auxiliaries, glass cleaners, construction antifreeze agents, and auxiliary materials for military and pharmaceutical intermediates.
