Is ethylene glycol harmful to humans?

Oct 27, 2025 Leave a message

CAS 107-21-1 Ethylene glycol (EG), commonly known as mono ethylene glycol (MEG), is the simplest aliphatic diol with a chemical formula of C2H6O2 and a molecular weight of 62.07. It is typically a colorless, transparent, viscous liquid with a sweet taste and is hygroscopic. Its melting point is -12.9°C, boiling point is 197.3°C, flash point is 111°C, and density is 1.13 g/mL. It is slightly soluble in ether and practically insoluble in benzene and its homologues, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and petroleum ether. It is miscible with water, lower aliphatic alcohols, glycerol, acetic acid, acetone, and other similar ketones, aldehydes, and pyridine.

 

MEG mono ethylene glycol is primarily used in the production of polyester, polyester, polyester resins, desiccant, plasticizer, surfactant, synthetic fibers, cosmetics, and automotive antifreeze.

But,ethylene glycol is highly harmful and toxic to humans if ingested, and it can also cause irritation through skin or eye contact.

 

Safety Information:

1.  Ethylene glycol liquid is toxic and may cause harm to health, especially by inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact.
2. Long-term or excessive exposure to EG may cause kidney, liver, and nervous system problems.

3. When using ethylene glycol 9CAS 107-21-1), wear protective gloves, goggles, and protective clothing to avoid direct contact with skin and eyes. Operate in a well-ventilated environment and try to avoid inhaling its vapors.
