Ethylene glycol

• High purity, technical  antifreeze fluid, which is also used in building services, heat recovery systems and as a refrigerant in motor vehicles.

• In an industrial environment, the use of ethylene glycol is more common due to lower purchase prices and lower operating costs due to lower viscosity (lower pump consumption).  and better heat transfer properties.

• Ethylene glycol is a toxic substance that is hazardous under REACH and requires greater care in terms of safety at work.

• Freezing point: -70 ° C

• Boiling point: 197.3 ° C

• Density: 1.1132 g / cm3

• Viscosity: 16.1 mPa.s

​

• With dilution, the freezing point is not directly proportional.​

• 1 part water and 1 part ethylene glycol  -37 ° C freezing point.​

• Excellent corrosion parameters, high stability against thermal decomposition.​

​

• Recommended replacement period is 2-3 years.

​

​

• Chemical raw material

• Refrigerant

• Cooling mixture,

• De-icing agents,

• Manufacture of polymer fibers,

• Paint industry,

• Manufacture of detergents,

• Metal processing,

• Agrochemistry,

• Water purification,

• Lubricants.

​

• The use of propylene glycol is not recommended for systems where ethylene glycol was considered in the design due to the varying pumping capacity due to the higher viscosity already mentioned, the cooling capacity may be reduced.
