 ABSTRACT

• ETHYLENE GLYCOL IS SYNTHETIC ORGANIC LIQUID USED FOR MANUFACTURING OF

POLYESTER FIBER AND AS ANTI-FREEZING AGENTS.
 INTRODUCTION

• ETHYLENE GLYCOL(1, 2 – ETHANEDIOL),HOCH2CH2OH USUALLY CALLED GLYCOL IS THE

HUMBLEST DIOL. DIETHYLENE GLYCOL THEN TRIETHYLENE GLYCOL ARE OLIGOMERS OF
MONO ETHYLENE GLYCOL.
 ETHYLENE GLYCOL FORMULA

•  (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.
REACTION
PROCESS DESCRIPTION
 PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

• MONOETHYLENE GLYCOL AND ITS LOWER POLYGLYCOLS ARE CLEAR, ODORLESS, COLORLESS, SYRUPY
LIQUID WITH A SWEET TASTE.
• IT IS A HYGROSCOPIC LIQUID COMPLETELY MISCIBLE WITH MANY POLAR SOLVENTS, SUCH AS WATER,
ALCOHOLS, GLYCOL ETHERS, AND ACETONE.
• ITS SOLUBILITY IS LOW HOWEVER IN NON POLAR SOLVENTS, SUCH AS BENZENE, TOLUENE,
DICHLOROETHANE, AND CHLOROFORM.
 USE OF ETHYLENE GLYCOL

• ANTIFREEZE

• POLYESTER RESINS.
• CHEMICAL INTERMEDIATES
• HYDRAULIC FLUIDS
• HEAT TRANSFER FLUIDS
• CAPACITOR
• EXPLOSIVES
• OTHER APPLICATIONS.
 CONCLUSION

• ETHYLENE GLYCOL IS A CLEAR, COLORLESS SYRUPY LIQUID. THE PRIMARY HAZARD IS

THE THREAT TO THE ENVIRONMENT. IMMEDIATE STEPS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO LIMIT ITS
SPREAD TO THE ENVIRONMENT.
