Molecular Formula: C2H6O2
Molecular Weight: : 62.07
CAS No.: 107-21-1
Properties:
The ethylene glycol family of products are clear, moderately viscous, hydroscopic liquids at room temperature. For your convenience, below is a summary of specifications and typical properties of the three major ethylene glycols: Ethylene Glycol (EG), Diethylene Glycol (DEG), and Triethylene Glycol (TEG).
Applications:
1. Freeze protection, heat transfer and hydraulic fluids; Natural gas and hydrocarbon treating agents;
2. Hydroscopic agents for paper, cork and textile conditioning;
3. Plasticizer formulations and raw materials for ester and polyester production.
4. The ethylene glycol family's solvency properties are useful in custom formulation of paints, dyes, inks and other blended products.
