Ethylene Glycol – 55 Gallon Drum

Bulk Ethylene Glycol - 55 Gallon Drum

Ethylene Glycol is made of 1,2-ethanediol at a concentration between 80% and 100%. It is a clear liquid and is used in antifreeze, polymer manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and other products.

Ethylene Glycol Benefits:

• Low flammability
• Low Reactivity
• Humectant
• Industrial strength
• Freeze point depression
• Anti-freezing properties
• Excellent electrical properties
• Variety of use

Ethylene Glycol Applications:

• Ethylene glycol is an antifreeze solution that is used in indoor and outdoor chilling systems. The amount of ethylene glycol used is dependent on the function of the system.
• A refractometer can be used to determine the temperature a chilling system’s solution will freeze, which can be decreased by adding ethylene glycol to the system to decrease the freezing temperature of the solution.
• When ethylene glycol is added to a solution, the glycol breaks down into glycolic acid which causes metals or ammonia to enter the system.
• Testing of pH, ammonia, copper level and iron level should then be tested. With this quality, ethylene glycol is not safe for food or potable water systems.
